Best Berry Terrine In Muscat De Beaumes De Venise Jelly Recipes

SABAYON OF MUSCAT DE BEAUMES DE VENISE WITH FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• Place the yolks in a medium, heatproof bowl. Gradually whisk in the sugar and whisk until the mixture is thick enough to form a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted, about 2 minutes. Beat in the Muscat and orange zest. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Whisking constantly, cook until the sabayon is warm and doubles in volume, about 8 minutes. Pour into 4 wine glasses. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. To serve, spoon the berries over each serving, and garnish with a mint sprig.

SUMMER FRUITS TERRINE OR BODACIOUS BERRIES IN WINE JELLY!

Steps:

• In addition to the ingredients, you will also need two 2 lb (900 g) loaf tins, 7½ x 4¾ inches x 3½ inches deep (19 x 12 cm x 9 cm deep), preferably non-stick but anyway with a good surface.
• First, prepare the fruit: remove the stalks and halve the strawberries if they are any larger than a quail's egg. Then mix the fruits together in a large bowl, being very gentle to avoid bruising them.
• In a small saucepan heat half the rosé wine until it begins to simmer, then whisk the sugar and gelatine into it. Make sure that everything has dissolved completely before adding the remaining wine and the lime juice. Then pour the liquid into a jug and allow it to cool. While that is happening, lay the mixed fruit in one of the loaf tins - and it is worth arranging the bottom layer with the smallest, prettiest-shaped fruit as this will be on top when the terrine is turned out.
• Next, pour all but 5 fl oz (150 ml) of the liquid over the fruit. Now lay a sheet of clingfilm over the tin, place the other tin directly on top, then put two unopened tins of tomatoes or something similar to act as weights into the top tin and put the whole lot into the fridge for about 1 hour, or until it has set. Then warm up the remaining 5 fl oz (150 ml) wine mixture and pour it over the surface of the terrine. Re-cover with clingfilm and return to the fridge overnight to set firm.
• When you are ready to serve, turn out the terrine by dipping the tin very briefly in hot water and inverting it on to a plate. Use a very sharp knife (also dipped first into hot water) to cut it into slices. Serve with red berry coulis, chilled pouring cream, crème fraîche or Greek yoghurt.

BERRY TERRINE IN MUSCAT DE BEAUMES-DE-VENISE JELLY

Steps:

• Soften the gelatin in 1/2 cup orange juice. Combine the remaining juice with the muscat, sugar, vanilla and peppercorns in a saucepan, and bring to boil. Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the gelatin to dissolve, and then strain.
• Puree 1 pint of the raspberries, strain, and sweeten to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Line a 6-cup oblong terrine with plastic wrap. Pour in a thin layer of the muscat mixture and the remaining raspberries. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour (or freeze for about 30 minutes). Add the blueberries and half of the remaining muscat mixture, and refrigerate 1 hour. Then add the strawberries and the remaining muscat mixture, and refrigerate at least 3 hours, until firm.
• To serve, unmold the terrine, and peel off the wrap. Serve in thick slices with raspberry sauce drizzled around.
