Method

Strain the mixture through a muslin-lined sieve into a bowl without pressing the pulp.

Simmer blackberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pan until fruit breaks down.

Invert the mould onto a plate and carefully lift to release the jelly.

Dip the mould into hot water for 20 seconds to loosen the jelly.

Pour the mixture into a 700ml mould and chill in the fridge overnight.

Soak broken gelatine leaves in enough water to cover for 90 minutes.

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sloe gin.

Warm the collected liquid in a clean pan and whisk in the soaked gelatine.
