My recipe has 2 TBS gelatine dissolved in 3/4 cup of boiling water. I sprinkle the gelatine over the water and stir, but always end up with a glucky ball floating around. I'm sure this didn't happen with the different make of gelatine I used to use but can't seem to get it at supermarket now.

Try pouring the hot water on to the gelatin instead of sprinkling it on top of the hot water. Stiring the water as you do this

You need to soak the gelatine in cold water first until it rehydrates and expands (this is called "blooming"), then dissolve it in hot liquid.

The common brand gelatine packet I have just says to stir it briskly into hot water, but I agree, soaking in cold first is better.

No, always mix in cold water, then warm it up before using.

In a bowl, Sprinkle gelatine on top of cold water, do not stir. Leave it for about ten minutes. In a pot bring to boil the rest of your ingredients, ie sugar, water, flavourings/colour. Place bowl of gelatine mixture into micowave until hot , stir. Add this to your pot mixture, stir well then leave to cool and set.
