Orange and Lime Jelly

This soft orange and lime jelly is a very refreshing, cooling and citrusy dessert which is badly needed to beat the current hot and humid weather. My guests at home were so pleased with this dessert and as it was so yummy they couldn’t help but asked for a second helping. You can make can make this easy jelly within 15 minutes minus the chilling time.   As the texture of the jelly is soft and due to the hot weather, it it best to consume it immediately or within 30 mins, once taken out of the refrigerator.
