Jelly Recipes!!

I was never a big jelly fan, but after my friend Raji suggested me to post this recipe, I tried making it today using 2 flavors, strawberry & lemon and decorated them with grapes, mint leaves and edible decors. It turned out so gorgeous, the look itself made me famished. Not only I liked it, my husband loved it too. Thanx to my friend for this idea. So here I’m sharing her recipe along with some other easy interesting recipes and images. This is kids favorite and y shouldn’t it be….it is a striking yummy dish! Birthday parties will be fun with this dish.
