Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin
2 cups white grape juice
1/2 cup sugar
5 1/2 to 6 cups (about 2 pounds) mixed fresh berries, such as strawberries (hulled and halved), raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup grape juice; let soften 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat sugar with another 1/4 cup grape juice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in softened gelatin until dissolved, then stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups grape juice.
  • Place berries in a 4-by-8-inch (6-cup-capacity) loaf pan; pour gelatin mixture over, pressing berries gently to submerge completely (remove a few berries if necessary). Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
  • To unmold, dip bottom of pan in hotwater about 5 seconds. Invert onto a serving platter, and shake firmly to release. Slice to serve.

MIXED BERRY TERRINE

Categories     easy, weekday, dessert

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups mixed berries: blueberries, raspberries, blackberries,
fraises des bois or strawberries
1 cup water
1 Earl Grey teabag
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
6 to 8 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Whipped cream, creme fraiche or sweetened plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Combine the berries in a bowl. If the strawberries are large, cut them in halves or fourths lengthwise.
  • Bring the water just to a boil in a three-quart saucepan. Add the teabag, remove from the heat and allow to steep for five minutes. Remove the teabag and, using a small whisk, mix in the gelatin. Stir until the gelatin dissolves completely. Stir in the six tablespoons sugar.
  • Transfer the berries to the saucepan and heat the mixture, stirring gently, a minute or two, until the berries begin to give up their juices and the sugar has dissolved. The liquid in the pan should barely cover the berries. Add more sugar if needed. Stir in the lemon juice.
  • Spoon the contents of the pan into a six-cup loaf pan or porcelain terrine. Alternatively, the mixture can be spooned into six large wine goblets. Refrigerate at least one hour, until the mixture is firm, then serve with the cream on the side or as a topping.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful berries for the best results. Frozen berries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • Use a variety of berries to create a more complex and interesting flavor. Some good combinations include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
  • If you don't have a terrine mold, you can use a loaf pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to line the pan with plastic wrap before adding the berry mixture.
  • Press the berry mixture firmly into the mold or pan to prevent air pockets. This will help the terrine to hold its shape when it is unmolded.
  • Chill the terrine for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the terrine to set.
  • Serve the terrine with fresh berries, whipped cream, or your favorite ice cream.

Conclusion:

Mixed berry terrine 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 a few simple tips, you can create a terrine that is sure to impress your friends and family.
