Champagne Gelatin With Peaches And Plums Recipes

Steps:

• Place gelatin in a heatproof bowl and add enough Champagne to cover (about a scant 1/2 cup); let stand 10 minutes. Place bowl over (but not touching) simmering water, stirring occasionally, until gelatin has melted; stir in sugar until dissolved.
• Stir another scant 1/2 cup Champagne into gelatin mixture and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a large liquid measuring cup. Strain lemon juice through sieve and add enough Champagne to gelatin mixture to make 2 cups.
• Place fruits in the bottom of a 2-cup mold. Add one-third of the gelatin mixture and transfer mold to refrigerator. Refrigerate until fruit is set, about 2 hours. Add remaining gelatin mixture to mold and return to refrigerator until set, 2 to 4 hours more.
• Moisten a serving plate with water. To unmold, set the mold in a bowl filled with warm water until the jelly around the edge has melted just slightly (this can take anywhere from 2 to 30 seconds). Invert mold onto prepared serving plate. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Bring champagne, 2 cups sugar, tea, and 6 cups water to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Add peaches; simmer gently for 5 to 20 minutes (knife should insert easily into peach). Let peaches cool in liquid, 3 hours. Peel peaches; slice 2 into eight sections each. Set aside remaining peaches. Strain liquid. Chill 2 cups liquid. Sprinkle gelatin over cold liquid; let stand to soften, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring 2 cups liquid to a boil. Add to gelatin mixture; whisk to dissolve gelatin, about 5 minutes. Pour 3 tablespoons of the mixture into mold to coat the bottom. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes, until just set.
• Combine remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 1/2 cups poaching liquid in a skillet; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat; let syrup simmer. Halve plums, and remove pits. Add plums, cut sides down, and poach until skin loosens, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from syrup; let cool. Remove skins. Slice each into four wedges. Chill.
• Arrange plums over gelatin in mold. Add 3/4 cup gelatin mixture. Cover with plastic; refrigerate 45 minutes, or until set. Add remaining gelatin; arrange peach slices on top. Cover with plastic; chill until set, 6 hours.
• To unmold, dip mold briefly into hot water, and run the tip of a knife around edge. Invert onto a platter. Cut reserved peaches in half, discard pits, and serve with gelatin.

Steps:

• Whisk the gelatin and boiling water in a medium bowl until the gelatin is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate until lukewarm, about 25 minutes. Stir in the Prosecco. Cover and refrigerate until the gelatin thickens but does not set, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Stir in the raspberries (bubbles will form in the gelatin mixture). Divide the gelatin among 6 Champagne flutes or individual dessert bowls. Cover and refrigerate until the gelatin is set, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• Dollop the mascarpone cheese atop each serving, then sprinkle the walnuts over and serve.

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup grape juice to a boil. Whisk in gelatin until dissolved. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stir in 1 more cup of grape juice, 2 1/2 cups of Champagne or sparkling wine, and St-Germain liqueur. Let chill until the gelatin is set, 2 to 3 hours. Cut the gelatin into cubes and distribute it among glasses, also dropping pomegranate seeds in each. When ready to serve, pour more Champagne over the gelee (serve with small spoons).

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand 2 minutes. Add sugar. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until gelatin and sugar are dissolved (do not boil). Remove from heat. Slowly stir in champagne and grape juice. , Transfer to a 13x9-in. dish coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate, covered, for 8 hours or overnight. Using a potato masher, gently break up champagne jelly. Layer jelly and berries in 12 dessert dishes. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours before serving.
