Notes
- This recipe takes a bit of preparation but it it’s worth it in the end.
- You can make this the day before you need to serve it. I think it’s actually better 24 hours later.
- You can exchange the sherry for orange juice for a child-friendly option.

Note
I like that you have been and red jelly in there. Sounds very festive! I may just have to try this one.
