Another delicious spring dessert from Sainsbury are the Eton Mess Strawberry Jellies. Although it is still a bit early for strawberries, they are here, from the greenhouse. The recipe was originally conceived for the birthday of the British Queen Elizabeth, but it also tastes great without a birthday!
