Time 8h35m

Yield 24 slices

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 oranges
Three 1/4-ounce envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup blood orange sparkling soda, such as San Pellegrino
3/4 cup silver tequila
3/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec

Steps:

  • Halve the oranges and gently scrape out the pulp, membrane and white pith with a spoon or melon baller. Place the orange rinds in muffin tins or fit them all into a pan so they can be filled without tipping over.
  • Put 1/2 cup cold water in a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin evenly on top and let it absorb the water for 2 minutes. Whisk in 3/4 cup boiling water until the gelatin is fully dissolved and then whisk in the sugar until dissolved. Cool the mixture to room temperature and then stir in the blood orange sparkling soda, tequila and orange liqueur. Spoon the gelatin mixture into the orange rinds. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Carefully slice each orange half into 2 wedges and serve.

LEMON AND BLOOD ORANGE GELéE PARFAITS



Lemon and Blood Orange Gelée Parfaits image

Inspired by a wonderful dessert in the pastry chef Sherry Yard's "Desserts by the Yard," this is a beautifully layered jello. First make the lemon gelée - even better if you have Meyer lemons at your disposal - and let it set in the glasses (this will take about an hour, so plan accordingly). Then make the blood orange jelly and pour on top of the lemon layer. The lemon layer is thinner than the blood orange layer.

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon powdered unflavored gelatin (1 envelope plus 1/2 teaspoon)
1 1/4 cups water
6 to 7 tablespoons sugar (to taste; I like to use organic sugar, which is coarser than regular granulated sugar and has an off-white color)
2/3 cup strained freshly squeezed lemon or Meyer lemon juice
2 tablespoons powdered unflavored gelatin (2 envelopes plus 1 teaspoon)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups freshly squeezed blood orange juice, all but 1/2 cup of it strained of pulp

Steps:

  • Get out six 6- or 8-ounce glasses (I use 6-ounce tumblers that taper out from the bottom).
  • Make the lemon layer. Place the gelatin in a medium bowl and pour in 1/4 cup of the water. Allow the gelatin to sit and "bloom" for 10 minutes. Combine the remaining water and the sugar in a saucepan and bring to a bare simmer. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved and remove from the heat. Pour over the gelatin mixture and stir until the gelatin has dissolved. Stir in the lemon juice. Pour about an inch into each of the glasses. Place in the refrigerator until set, about 1 hour.
  • Make the blood orange gelée. Juice all but one of the oranges and strain. Juice the remaining orange, strain out the seeds but not the pulp, and add to the strained juice. Place the gelatin in a medium bowl and pour in 1/4 cup of the water. Allow the gelatin to sit and "bloom" for 10 minutes. Combine the remaining water and the sugar in a saucepan and bring to a bare simmer. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved and remove from the heat. Pour over the gelatin mixture and stir until the gelatin has dissolved. Stir in the orange juice. Make sure that the lemon layers are set and fill the tumblers with the orange juice mixture. If you want, you can make different patterns, alternating stripes of orange and yellow, but you will have to allow each layer to set before you add the next one. Refrigerate for several hours, until set.

Tips:

  • For a smoother gelatin, strain the blood orange juice before adding it to the mixture.
  • If you don't have any blood oranges, you can use regular oranges instead. Just add a few drops of red food coloring to the mixture to achieve the desired color.
  • You can also add other fruits or flavors to your gelatin, such as berries, pineapple, or lemon.
  • If you want a firmer gelatin, increase the amount of gelatin powder you use. For a softer gelatin, decrease the amount of gelatin powder.
  • Make sure to let the gelatin chill for at least 4 hours before serving, or overnight for a firmer texture.
  • Conclusion:

    Blood orange gelatin is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking with different fruits, flavors, and colors. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give blood orange gelatin a try.
