Zesty orange jelly segments recipe

With sports days in full swing, Rachel Walker's delicious riff on a classic half-time snack is always a fun thing to pack in the picnic hamper.
Ingredients:
Makes 8 segments
- 2 naval oranges
- 400ml orange juice
- 40g caster sugar
- 4 gelatin sheets
Method:
- Cut both oranges in half, and scoop out the filling, using your hands to squeeze the juice into a jug. Rinse the halves of orange and clean away as much pith as you can, as you would prepare a pumpkin.
- Use shop-bought orange juice to fill up the jug of juice to 400ml. Add the sugar to it, and then gently heat the orange juice, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Meanwhile, soak the gelatine sheets in cold water for five minutes, until they go soft. Stir them into the warm orange juice.
- Sit each hollowed-out orange half on a mug or jam jar to make sure they are stable. Fill with the orange jelly mixture, and refrigerate until set. Use a kitchen knife to cut each half of orange in half again, to make an orange segment.
