Sparkling Raspberry Jellies Recipes

Steps:

• Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Let simmer while making jam.
• In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, cranberries, pectin, and margarine. Bring to a boil. Stir in sugar, and return to a boil. Cook for 1 minute; remove from heat.
• Quickly fill jars to within 1/2 inch from top. Wipe rims clean, and put on lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Dissolve jelly crystals in boiling water, set aside.
• Place marshmallows in microwave safe container.
• Heat in microwave till melted - time depends on your microwave.
• Whisk marshmallows into jelly mixture.
• Pour into 2 large glasses.
• Refrigerate 3 hours till set.
• Garnish with berries.

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set an 8-cup glass spouted measuring cup inside of it. Put eight 8-ounce Champagne flutes in the refrigerator to chill.
• Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over 2 cups cold water in a medium saucepan. Let sit until the gelatin softens (it will become translucent), about 5 minutes. Add the sugar then cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the sugar and gelatin dissolve completely, about 5 minutes (don't let the liquid come to a boil). Pour the gelatin mixture into the prepared measuring cup over the ice bath, stirring the mixture a few times until it feels lukewarm. Stir in the sparkling wine and grape juice. Pour 1/2 cup of the sparkling wine mixture into a small bowl then neatly pour the remaining mixture into the 8 flutes.
• Refrigerate the flutes and the reserved mixture in the bowl for 30 minutes (the jelly will be lightly thickened). Gently push a raspberry down into the center of each flute with a skewer, letting some gelatin cover it, until the raspberry is held in place.
• Add the half-and-half to the reserved gelatin mixture in the bowl and whisk vigorously until the mixture looks like foam. Spoon the foam on top of each flute of jelly. Return the flutes to the refrigerator and chill until the gelatin sets completely, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, soften the gelatin in 3 tablespoons of the water. In a saucepan, heat the remaining water over low heat and add the gelatin. Stir until the gelatin dissolves and add the sugar, lemon zest, and juice. Heat to just below the boil and remove from the heat. Cover and let steep for 20 minutes.
• Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a shallow metal bowl. Discard the lemon zest and leave the liquid to cool. Watch it carefully and, when it is quite cool and just about to set, stir in the champagne. Pour into perfectly clean tall champagne flutes and drop a few raspberries into each. Chill until cold and serve, garnished with a few more raspberries and a sprig of mint.

Steps:

• Arrange half of the raspberries (choose similar-sized ones) in 2 x 150ml darioles or moulds.
• Cut the remaining raspberries into halves and place in a mixing bowl. Squeeze over the lemon juice and sprinkle with caster sugar, then toss. Cover and chill in the fridge.
• Put the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water to soften. Pour the cordial and 50ml of the Prosecco into a saucepan. Heat until just simmering, then take off the heat.
• Take the softened gelatine leaves out of the bowl and squeeze out the excess water. Put them in the saucepan and whisk together to combine. Reduce the temperature until it's cool enough to touch (try placing the pan in a shallow sink of cold water). Once the liquid is cool, gently add the remaining Prosecco and stir. The more gently you stir, the more fizz you will have in your jelly. Carefully pour into the jelly moulds. Put the moulds onto a metal tray and place in the fridge. They will take 3-4 hrs to set.
• To serve, turn out the jelly onto a plate and spoon over the macerated raspberries. Decorate the plate with a few elderflowers or try sprinkling a little cracked black pepper over the top, if you like.

Steps:

• Mix unflavored gelatine and sugar in medium microwaveable bowl until blended. Stir in soda. Let stand 3 min. or until gelatine is softened. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until gelatine and sugar are dissolved, stirring after each minute. Pour into 8-inch square dish sprayed with cooking spray.
• Refrigerate 25 to 30 min. or until set but not firm. Meanwhile, add boiling water to raspberry gelatin mixes in separate medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Cool 15 min.
• Pour raspberry gelatin gently over clear gelatine layer in dish. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Cut into 36 squares; top with raspberries just before serving.

Steps:

• Wash raspberries, removing any stems, leaves or rotten berries.
• Transfer clean raspberries into a large, stainless steel stock pot, and heat over low until barely warm. Crush berries (I used a potato masher) to extract juice.
• Line a big sieve or colander with several layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl. I use a big 8-cup marked measuring bowl. Pour mashed raspberries into colander, tie cheesecloth up into a bag, and hang to drip for several hours or overnight.
• If you have a really good juicer, scoop remaining pulp out of cheesecloth bag and run through the juicer. Otherwise squeeze your cheesecloth bag on regular intervals to make sure you extract as much juice as possible.
• wash out your jars, lids and rings. put jars into canning kettle and bring to a boil. place rings and lids in a bowl of hot water.
• Measure your juice, and the pulp you get from the juicer (here's where the marked measuring bowl comes in handy :-) ). You want 4 cups of juice. Add a little fruit juice or water if necessary.
• Pour raspberry juice into your large, stainless steel stock pot, and add your dry pectin, stirring the whole time you are adding it.
• Place pot on stove on high heat, and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring often.
• pour sugar slowly into boiling rhubarb (a second pair of hands is useful for this step!), stirring as you go.
• Keep stirring to prevent sticking and burning, until mixture returns to a full boil. Continue to boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when done.
• pour jelly into processed jars, putting on lids and rings, tightening to finger tight.
• process in water bath in your canner for 5 minutes.
• remove and place on a dry towel to cool for 24 hours. Lids should pop down fairly quickly. Enjoy!
