jelly challenging.....

ok help required......... sitting at my table with a pot of Hartleys strawberry jelly.... armed with a spoon, peeled off the lid ready to start, dig in spoon but all thats happening is that the jelly is spinning round in a circle in the tub, try a different way, too much jelly for the spoon to lift (and too wobbly to stay on the spoon) bigger spoon ? no good......... nothing available....
so what to do ? seems a bit uncouth to slurp the jelly directly from the pot (maybe fun actually) but even on my own it doesnt seem like a good idea.....
ok given up and note to self ' not to buy jelly again' until a better solution is found....
