Stage 2
Rub the edges of the sugar lumps over the clementine peel so that they absorb some of the delicate fruit flavour...

... then put the sugar in a small pan.
Stage 4
Squeeze the juice of 6 clementines and 1 lemon and add this to the pan.
Put to heat gently and stir to dissolve the sugar. Once the juice is fairly hot, take off the heat, add the drained and dried gelatine and stir until fully dissolved.
Please note: It is important that the juice should not boil as it will lose much of its flavour.
