Double layered jelly.

Double layered jelly. This is our pallet changer. A small refreshment before a dessert.

Green apricots and flowering currant jelly.
Green apricots have a distinct taste compared to fully ripe apricots. The taste of green apricots is often described as slightly sour or tangy, with a hint of sweetness. They have a unique fruity flavor that is not as intense as fully ripe apricots but still enjoyable, also have a subtle almond-like flavor. This flavor is often associated with apricot pits or kernels, which have a slightly nutty taste. It adds a pleasant depth to the overall flavor profile of green apricots.
The combination of green apricots and flowering currant jelly are a delightful pairing. The sourness of the green apricots can complement the sweetness of the flowering currant jelly, creating a balanced and flavorful combination. The almond-like flavor of the green apricots can also add an interesting twist to the overall taste experience.

By creating a double-layered jelly, you can enjoy the distinct flavors of both ingredients in a visually appealing manner. The contrasting of amber colour and gentle red colour reminds me a sunset.
