White Wine Jelly - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup white wine (A Riesling will be my choice)
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (unflavored, powdered)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup strawberry (sliced)
1/2 cup peach (sliced)
1/2 cup cherries (pitted)
Preparation
-
Put 1/2 cup water into a sml saucepan, add gelatin & allow to soak for a few minutes.
Place saucepan over a low heat & stir till the gelatin dissolves. Stir in the lemon juice & sugar.
Continue stirring till the sugar dissolves & remove the pan from the heat.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water & the wine. Refrigerate till the mixture develops a syrup consistency.
Add fruits, mix gently & spoon the jelly into a 1 qt mold or smaller molds of choice.
Refrigerate & chill thoroughly till well-set. Unmold & serve.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: For brunch, serve w/scones, bagels or English muffins. As a salad course, serve atop greens & use a poppy seed or other complimentary dressing. As a dessert, serve w/cheese & crackers -- or -- baguette slices topped w/cheese of choice & the jelly as a dessert bruschetta. A sml dish of choc mints would make a nice combo w/either choice.
NOTE: IMO, the fruits used are suggestions & others can be subbed. I will prob use a combo of green & red grapes in place of the cherries. Kiwi segments could also be used.
