Spider Web Jelly

Ingredients:
1l Smooth Orange Juice
25g Dark Chocolate
6 Strips of Gelatin

Method:
1. Heat the orange juice in a medium-size pan until nearly boiling.
2. Cover the gelatine with cold water and leave for 5 mins until spongy and softened.
3. Squeeze out any excess water.
4. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the gelatine until dissolved.
5. Let the mixture cool a little, then divide between 10 serving dishes.
6. Place in the fridge for at least 5 hrs, or preferably overnight.
7. Cover a baking sheet with some baking parchment.
8. Melt the chocolate either in the microwave (1-2 mins should do it) or in a bowl set over a small pan of boiling water.
9. Pour the melted chocolate into a small freezer bag.
10. Make a piping bag by snipping off a tiny piece of one corner.
11. Now pipe out 10 spider-web shapes onto the baking parchment: pipe a circle with a smaller circle inside, then pipe lines coming out from the centre like the spokes of a wheel.
12. Place the chocolate spider webs in the fridge to harden. Just before serving, carefully peel away each spider web from the parchment and place on top of a jelly.
