These jellies are even better served with some heavy cream poured in after the first bite.
1, 750 mL bottle rosé or fruity white wine
1 1/4 cups (300 mL) sugar
1 vanilla bean
10 g gelatin (5 leaves or 1 sachet)
2 1/2 cups (625 mL or 300g) raspberries
- Place the wine and berries in a bowl and allow to steep for half an hour. Strain half the wine into a saucepan and keep the raspberries to one side. Heat the wine with vanilla pod until nearly boiling and leave to steep on one side for 15 minutes.
- Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for about 5 minutes and place them in a large bowl. (if using powdered gelatin, place in a large bowl and pour over a few spoonfuls of wine to bloom the gelatin). Remove the vanilla pod and reheat the wine stirring the sugar in until it dissolves. Add the hot wine to the wrung-out gelatine leaves (or bloomed powdered gelatin) and stir to dissolve, then add the rest of the wine and stir well. Strain into a large jug.
- Place the raspberries, equally, into 8 clear glass serving bowls, and pour the strained wine over the top. Allow to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours, though a day would be fine if you want to make this well ahead, and take out of the fridge 15 minutes before serving.
