Raspberry Lime Terrine Food

RASPBERRY LIME PUNCH

Steps:

• Mash the raspberries with the mint and sugar in a large bowl, using a potato masher or muddler, until the raspberries break down into very small pieces. Add the rum, lime juice and Lillet and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
• Strain the mixture into a large pitcher with ice. Add some raspberries and mint for garnish and top off with the seltzer. Serve immediately.

CRUNCHY RASPBERRY RIPPLE TERRINE

Steps:

• Mash 150g of the raspberries, pass through a sieve into a bowl, discarding seeds, and set aside. Line a 1 litre loaf tin with cling film. Whisk eggs and sugar continuously over a bowl of barely simmering water, until doubled in volume and thick (an electric whisk is ideal). Remove bowl from heat. Continue to whisk until completely cool; the whole process will take about 10 mins.
• Whisk the cream until just thick. Fold the egg mix into the cream until completely combined, then fold in the meringue. Pour the raspberry purée over the mix in a zigzag, then gently pour into the lined loaf tin. Freeze for minimum 4 hrs and serve in slices with the remaining whole raspberries.

RASPBERRY & DARK CHOCOLATE CHEAT'S ICE CREAM TERRINE

Steps:

• Line a 900g loaf tin (ours was 9 x 20 x 7cm) with two sheets of overlapping baking parchment, leaving some overhanging on all sides of the tin. Put 175g of the raspberries, the caster sugar and lemon juice in a pan over a medium heat and simmer for 3 mins until softened slightly. Tip into a food processor or use a hand blender to blitz until smooth.
• Whisk the double cream, vanilla and condensed milk using an electric whisk until soft peaks form. Pour in the raspberry purée, then stir carefully a few times to marble the raspberry through the cream.
• Tip the remaining raspberries into the base of the lined tin. Cover with a third of the cream mixture, spreading it out evenly. Tap the tin down on a surface so that the mixture covers the raspberries. Using a spoon, drizzle over half of the melted chocolate to cover the cream. Top with another third of the cream mixture and spread it out. Drizzle over the remaining chocolate and top with the remaining cream.
• Use the overhanging parchment to cover the top of the tin, using more parchment if it doesn't cover the terrine completely, and freeze for at least 8 hrs, or overnight. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 mins. Tip upside down and remove from the tin, and drizzle with a little more melted chocolate to decorate. Run boiling water over your knife, wipe dry, and slice to serve.

RASPBERRY-WATERMELON TERRINE WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
• Make the white layer: Sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup milk in a medium bowl. Let stand 2 minutes. Heat the remaining 1/2 cup milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Pour over the gelatin mixture and whisk until combined. Add the sugar and whisk until dissolved. Whisk in the sour cream, vanilla and salt until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, then lightly tap the pan on the counter to make an even layer. Refrigerate until set, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Make the red layer: Combine the watermelon, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and salt in a blender; process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the puree through with the back of a spoon. Transfer 1 cup of the puree to another bowl and sprinkle with the gelatin; let stand 2 minutes. Heat 1 cup of the remaining puree in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming. Pour over the gelatin mixture and whisk until combined. Stir in the remaining puree; let cool.
• Spoon the cooled puree over the white layer; loosely cover with the overhanging plastic wrap. Refrigerate until completely set, about 3 hours.
• Make the sauce: Combine the blueberries, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the berries burst, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add the lemon juice; puree until smooth. Let cool completely.
• Unwrap the terrine; invert onto a platter. Slice and serve with the blueberry sauce and fresh blueberries.

JELLIED RASPBERRY AND VODKA TERRINE WITH LIME SYRUP

Steps:

• For the jelly terrine, place the sugar and water into a pan and bring to the boil.
• Meanwhile, soak the gelatine leaves in cold water in a small bowl.
• When the water has boiled, squeeze the water out of the gelatine, add to the pan and mix gently. Pass the mixture through a sieve into a bowl and allow to cool until it is just starting to thicken.
• Grease a terrine mould with oil, then line with cling film.
• Pour the vodka into the setting jelly mixture, then spoon a little of the jelly into the base of the terrine and allow to begin to set. Sprinkle in a layer of raspberries, then top with a little of the jelly and spread to fill the gaps between the raspberries. Add another layer of raspberries, then top with more jelly. Repeat the layers with the remaining raspberries and jelly, then smooth over the top. Place into the fridge to set for about an hour.
• For the lime syrup, place the sugar, lime juice and water into a pan and bring to a simmer. Dissolve the arrowroot in a little water and, using a whisk, mix it into the pan little by little until thickened to make a smooth sauce. Pass through a sieve into a bowl, stir in the lime zest and allow to cool.
• To serve, carefully turn the terrine out of the mould onto a plate and remove the cling film. Slice the terrine into 2cm/1in thick slices and place onto serving plates with the sauce spooned around the edge.

RASPBERRY LIME RICKEY

Steps:

• Fill a tall glass with ice. Squeeze each of the lime wedges into glass, and drop in. Fill glass nearly to the top with carbonated water, and top with raspberry syrup.
