I tested all the ready made supermarket jellies – the winner was flavoursome and fantastic value

ON your marks, get set . . . for classic pud jelly making a big comeback in shops. One homeware retailer has reported a 500 per cent increase in sales of jelly moulds as the trend catches on. But when it comes to the supermarket ready-made offerings, which pots deliver the best taste trembles?.

Laura Stott rates them out of five. THESE little vegetarian-friendly pots of jelly are a much more grown-up version of the nostalgic pudding and are great to keep in your fridge for a handy adult treat. Each one is made with flavoursome raspberry jelly, and there are absolutely loads of generous hunks of real fruit throughout the tubs.

Sweet, juicy and ideal for a light snack in the evening. RATING: 4/5. SMALL and compact, these are good for on-the-go lunches and adding to school bags or to the fridge as something to grab quickly. Made with strawberry purée and juice blended from concentrate, they are really fruity and have a satisfying thick texture.

Plus there’s no added sugar. One pot easily met the need for just a taste of something sweet without overindulging. They’re full of vitamin C, too. RATING: 3/5. THESE individual pots – which contain a minuscule ten calories per portion – appear to be aimed mainly at dieters who want a sugary treat or dessert.

The flavour wasn’t one I’d choose to tuck into again. The Bakewell tang was very artificial and strange – and it reminded me more of eating sweets from a bag than enjoying a tasty cake. RATING: 1/5. NOW this is what I call a nostalgic dessert.
