Fresh Berry Terrine Food

FRESH BERRY TERRINE

Steps:

• Place the berries in an 8x4-inch loaf pan. Distribute them around evenly.
• Pour ½ cup of the grape juice in a large bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin in a thin, even layer over top (no need to stir) and let sit for 5 minutes. The powder will absorb into the juice and become very thick.
• Meanwhile, bring the remaining 1½ cups juice and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan; whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the thickened gelatin and whisk to combine.
• Carefully pour the warm gelatin mixture over the berries. Chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours, or until very firm.
• To unmold, quickly run hot water over the sides of the pan (tilting it so that the inside of the pan doesn't get wet). Invert an oblong platter over the pan and flip over. The terrine should slide right out; if it doesn't, try running a blunt knife along the edges of the pan to loosen, or run the pan under hot water briefly again. Blot any excess liquid on the platter with a paper towel. Refrigerate the terrine until ready to serve. Cut into 1-inch slices with a sharp knife.
• Make Ahead: The terrine can be made up to three days ahead of time. Once set, cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Unmold before serving.

PROSECCO AND SUMMER FRUIT TERRINE

Steps:

• Arrange fruit in a 1 1/2-quart glass, ceramic, or nonstick terrine or loaf pan.
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup Prosecco in a small bowl and let stand 1 minute to soften. Bring 1 cup Prosecco to a boil with sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup Prosecco and lemon juice, then transfer to a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Cool mixture, stirring occasionally, just to room temperature.
• Slowly pour mixture over fruit, then chill, covered, until firm, at least 6 hours.
• To unmold, dip pan in a larger pan of hot water 3 to 5 seconds to loosen. Invert a serving plate over terrine and invert terrine onto plate.

• 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.

MIXED BERRY TERRINE

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.
