Spiced Apple Jelly

Is there a more pleasing and nostalgic desert than Jelly? Especially if accompanied by icecream! And with its recent revival thanks to the likes of Bompas & Parr and a plethora of celebrity chefs, I am jumping on the band wagon. But no fancy champagne and strawberry jelly for me, it's the humble apple that gets the makeover today. 

Ingredients
3lb of apples, peeled and sliced
A splash (say, 2 tbsp) of water (or good cider)
1 clove
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
4 leafs of gelatin
Softly whipped cream to serve
Method
Heat the apples in a large heavy bottomed pan, with 2 tablespoons of water and the clove for 5 mins, until they are soft. Remove the clove. Add in the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, stir and set aside to cool a little. Prep the gelatin according to the packet instructions and add to the hot apples. Stir well. Decant into a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
