Step 1

Start off by soaking the gelatin in cold water.

Step 2

Heat up the port with the sugar until the sugar has dissolved, and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 3

Remove the gelatin sheets from the water and place into the pan with the port and then stir until dissolved.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the heat and pour the port solution into a canning jar or bowl, before covering and allowing to cool. Transfer to the refrigerator and allow to set (about 5 or 6 hours) before enjoying.
