Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups dry Champagne or rosé sparkling wine
1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 large firm but ripe pears, peeled, cored, quartered
6 large egg yolks
2 1/2-pint baskets raspberries
1 cup chilled whipped topping cream
4 mint sprigs
12 rose petals from unsprayed roses (optional)

Steps:

  • Place 1 tablespoon Champagne in small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over; let stand until soft, about 10 minutes. Combine remaining Champagne and 1 cup sugar in heavy medium saucepan; stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil. Add pears; reduce heat and simmer just until pears are tender, turning pears often, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, place pears on plate and cool. Boil poaching liquid until reduced to 1 1/3 cups, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk egg yolks in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in hot poaching liquid; return mixture to same saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until candy thermometer registers 175°F., about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add gelatin mixture and whisk until dissolved. Chill custard until thickened but not set, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • Set aside 4 raspberries for garnish. Combine remaining raspberries and 1 tablespoon sugar in medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Coarsely chop pears. Beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold cream into custard. Place 1/4 cup raspberries in each of four 12- to 16-ounce goblets or balloon-shaped wineglasses. Spoon half of pears over raspberries, dividing equally. Spoon 1/2 cup custard over each. Repeat layering with remaining raspberries, pears and custard. Cover loosely with foil; chill until custard is set, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Garnish parfaits with reserved raspberries, mint and rose petals, if desired.

PEAR AND SWEET WINE GELATIN PARFAITS



Pear and Sweet Wine Gelatin Parfaits image

Jell-O has been glimmering and shimmering since 1897, and it took America by storm during the 1920s: That was the era for molded salads and desserts. Jell-O has been a staple in the American pantry since then, and in 1997, in celebration of its hundred-year anniversary, the company brought out a sparkling white grape flavor that is mixed with seltzer rather than water, giving it an appealing spritz. Here we've added sweet Muscat wine, too.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 6-ounce package sparkling white grape-flavored Jell-O
1 1/4 cups sweet Muscat wine (such as Quady Essensia) or other sweet dessert wine
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 cups seltzer or club soda
2 large ripe pears, peeled, cored, chopped
Fresh mint sprigs (optional)

Steps:

  • Place Jell-O in large bowl. Bring 1 cup Muscat and 1/2 cup water to boil in medium saucepan. Pour over Jell-O in bowl; stir until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. Stir in seltzer (mixture will be foamy). Refrigerate until Jell-O is set, at least 6 hours or overnight. Mix chopped pears and remaining 1/4 cup Muscat in small bowl. Spoon half of Jell-O into 4 wine goblets or parfait glasses, dividing equally. Top with pear mixture, then remaining Jell-O. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
