Buttermilk cream and blackberry jelly - Yuki Sugiura
I use the smaller of the two sizes of Costa gelatine, as these seem most readily available.
Prep time: 30 minutes, plus setting time | Cooking time: 10 minutes
For the buttermilk layer
3 small leaves gelatine
50ml milk
225ml buttermilk
For the blackberry layer
285ml red wine
50ml crème de cassis or crème de Mûre
135g granulated sugar
strip of lemon peel
125g blackberries (plus extra for serving – optional)
For the buttermilk layer, put the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for five minutes to soften.
Bring the cream, milk and sugar to just under the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to hand-hot.
Gently squeeze the gelatine, add to the cream and stir. Whisk in the buttermilk.
Divide between eight glasses and set in the fridge for three to four hours, or overnight.
For the jelly, put the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for five minutes.
Heat the wine, crème de cassis, 125ml water and the sugar with the lemon peel, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar. The wine shouldn't become hotter than hand warm.
Gently squeeze the gelatine, add it to the wine and stir to dissolve. Leave to cool – not so long that it starts to set. Divide the blackberries between the glasses, pour on the jelly, then return to the fridge to set.
You can put more blackberries on top if you want. Remove from the fridge a while before serving them so that they are not fridge-cold.

Coronavirus vaccines saved after emergency operation launched at manufacturing site hit by floodwater
Thousands of vials of the Oxford / Astrazeneca vaccine were saved during an "urgent" mission by council staff following flooding at an industrial estate in Wales. Heavy rain caused by Storm Christoph led to standing water surrounding buildings at Wockhardt's pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Wrexham, and a call for help was put out on Wednesday evening. The Telegraph can reveal that other sites where the vaccine is manufactured are near areas which have flood warnings, and government sources said there were "concerns around vaccine deployment". The leader of Wrexham County Borough said that authorities worked "through the night" to ensure that the site was not overwhelmed by flood water, using a team of six staff, a number of sandbags and two water pumps. Mark Pritchard told the Telegraph: "We got a phone call last night from the company who were concerned about rising water."
