A.K.A. Fancy Fruit Jello. 😀 That’s what it looks like to me although this version does contain more yummy goodness than your typical jello. I love summer for all the wonderful fresh fruits that are at their prime. Because of that, I normally would eat or use these fruits as is. Alternately, I’ve discovered another easy way to serve up these fresh flavors – suspend the fruits in sparkling juice or wine jello for a refreshing and gorgeous dessert. Delicious!
Slightly adapted from the recipe Fruit Terrine by Gourmet 2 (¼-oz) envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin 2 cups sparkling cider ¼ cup sugar 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 4 cups mixed fruit (I used 2 cups strawberries, 1 cup raspberries, and 1 cup blueberries)Sprinkle gelatin over ½ cup cider in a small bowl and let stand 1 minute to soften. Bring 1 cup cider to a boil with sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved. Stir in remaining ½ cup cider and lemon juice. Let mixture cool to room temperature (lukewarm is fine), stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, arrange fruit in a 1½-quart glass, ceramic, or nonstick mold. Slowly pour cooled gelatin mixture over fruit, and chill, covered, until firm (it will take several hours). To unmold, dip mold in a larger pan/bowl of hot water 3 to 5 seconds to loosen. Invert onto a serving plate and admire your work. 😀
That is so pretty! I’ve never seen that before.
Gotta make one the next time you guys come over. 😀
Chris, this is so pretty! Love the look of the fresh fruits sitting under the jelly 🙂
Thanks, Isadora! 😀 I love that the fruits stayed fresh in the jelly.
I really like this. I went to the Farmer’s Market and bought strawberries, blueberries and red raspberries. I used cranberry juice since that was in my pantry. Big success! Thanks for the recipe.
