Strawberry Lemonade Prosecco Jellies Food

STRAWBERRY & PROSECCO JELLIES

Steps:

• Put 150ml water and the sugar in a large saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add the strawberries, bring to the boil, then bubble for 5 mins without stirring, until the fruit has softened and the liquid is red, fragrant and syrupy.
• Strain the hot syrup through a sieve into a large jug (be careful not to push the strawberries through the sieve as the jelly will become cloudy), then leave to cool for a few mins. Discard the cooked strawberries. While the syrup is cooling, soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water. When soft, squeeze the excess water from the gelatine sheets and stir into the syrup until completely melted.
• Divide the extra strawberries between 6 x 200-250ml Champagne flutes or stemmed glasses. Open the Prosecco, mix it briefly with the strawberry syrup, then pour into the glasses over the strawberries. Chill overnight, then serve.

STRAWBERRY AND PROSECCO SCONES WITH SPARKLING LEMON ICING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Pulse together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until pea-sized butter balls form, about 20 seconds. Turn out into a bowl.
• Whisk together the buttermilk and prosecco in another bowl and gently mix together with the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the strawberries and white chocolate chips. (The dough should be dry, but if it looks very dry and isn't coming together into a loose dough, add in a splash or two more of prosecco.)
• Gently roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 1 1/2 inches thick, then cut into 8 wedges. (See Cook's Note.) Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely, then drizzle with Sparkling Lemon Icing and sprinkle with fresh lemon zest.
• Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, zest, salt and 1 tablespoon prosecco. If too thin, add more sugar; if too thick, add more prosecco.

PROSECCO AND RASPBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Place your chosen glasses or bowls in the freezer for half an hour. Soften the gelatine sheets in a bowl of cold water for 3-5 minutes.
• Place 2 tablespoons of water and the sugar in a saucepan over a medium-low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove from the heat.
• Remove the gelatine sheets from their soaking water and squeeze out any excess liquid. Transfer the softened gelatine to the hot syrup and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then pour the prosecco into the syrup. Remove the glasses or bowls from the freezer, pour in the jelly mixture and return to the freezer for half an hour.
• Take the glasses out of the freezer and place 8-10 raspberries in each jelly, pressing down slightly. Chill the jellies in the fridge for 2-3 hours until fully set.
