Mixed Berry Terrine

GOOD TO KNOW It will come as no surprise that gelatin desserts are a calorie-counter’s dream. What you may not know is that there are elegant ways of preparing—and presenting—the nostalgic desserts. Form the gelatins in pretty single serve glasses or in a loaf pan for unmolding and slicing.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8

Ingredients

2 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) unflavored powdered gelatin
2 cups 100% white grape juice
1/2 cup sugar
5 1/2 to 6 cups mixed fresh berries (about 2 pounds), such as strawberries (rinsed, hulled, and halved), raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup grape juice; let soften, 5 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat sugar with 1/4 cup grape juice in a small saucepan over medium-high, stirring, until dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in softened gelatin until dissolved, then stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups grape juice.

    Step 3

    Place berries in a 4-by-8-inch (6-cup) 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 (or up to 2 days, covered with plastic wrap).

    Step 4

    To unmold, dip bottom of pan in hot water about 5 seconds. Invert onto a serving platter, and shake firmly to release. Slice to serve.
