Nigella's Pus Recipe for Halloween

Full question

I would like to make Nigella's Pus recipe for Halloween. But just to be sure, do jelly packets mean Jello?

Our answer

Nigella's Pus recipe is a lime-flavoured milk jelly that is perfect for Halloween. In the UK jelly is a flavoured gelatin and for the US Jell-O would be the the appropriate product to use.

However we would mention that the UK packages of jelly use a slightly larger quantity of liquid than the US (1 1/3 cups liquid per package vs Jell-O packages that usually use 2 cups). So we would suggest that you use slightly less milk for the Pus recipe made with Jell-O. We would suggest using 1 2/3 cups milk (instead of 2 cups).
