Ingredients

2/3 pack digestive biscuits
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 can berries in natural juice (I use raspberries)
1/2 can evaporated milk
1 block raspberry jelly
200ml boiling water
Pinch ground ginger


Instructions

Grease a deep cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

Crush biscuits to fine crumbs and add ginger. Stir in melted butter and golden syrup. Press firmly into the base of the cake tin and flatten with the bottom of a glass. Leave to cool.

Make up jelly with boiling water and leave to stand for ten minutes. Add drained berry juice (retaining actual fruit) and refrigerate until jelly mixture is thick and gluey.

With electric mixer (or a whole lot of arm power) whisk evaporated milk until it reaches soft peak phase. Gently fold into cooled jelly mixture, taking care not to let mixture flatten.

Spread fruit across the biscuit base in the cake tin. Carefully swirl jelly/milk mixture over the top.

Refrigerate until firm, about 2-3 hours.
