But it must be cool before adding it. Some people might whisk the milk. I don't know if Julie does. I'm sure she will be on here saying how she does hers. And I always keep the evap in the fridge prior to mixing in, and if I don't use all the can then add it to the jelly when serving.

I have also, in the past, added made up jelly (to the full pint) to blancmange, matching flavours. Or with a chocolate flavour, a tangerine one goes well, or blackcurrant. It does mean having two lots of desserts, really, as you would make up both the jelly and the blancmange to the full instructions, and then mixing some together. Takes up room in the fridge but the result is again delicious. Serve according to your own taste, again. Cream, fruit, whatever.
Yes we whisk it that makes a frothy topping almost mousse like on top of the milky jelly. Other than that we do it like you.

But, but, but you can't eat cheese and biscuits without washing it down with a decent Port Julie darlin'.

You can but my husband might have a tiny glass he's still making his way through the bottle we opened three years ago.

Tea total the rest of us either religious reasons or health my medication sends off into the clouds at times I can't imagine adding alcohol would improve the situation

They are a delicasy and a huge seller in my local asian wholesalers - both cooked and raw. However - whilst interesting, I wouldn't do it again A bit like skin on a stick

Going to do fish myself. Might just cook it in parsley sauce, and do the potatoes and veg separate, rather than a pie.
