Pour the raspberry mixture into double muslin cloth and hang over a bowl in the fridge overnight to extract all the juices

Put 3 tablespoons of the raspberry juice in a small pan and heat through. Squeeze the gelatine free from water and add to the pan to dissolve. Add in the remaining liquid and stir to combine. Set aside
5
To assemble the raspberry fool, gently and briefly cook the remaining raspberries with 50g of the sugar using the same method as in step 1, ensuring the raspberries do not go too mushy. Strain off and reserve the residual liquid and leave the raspberries to cool
