Best Teachermans Citrus Berry Terrine Recipes

FRESH BERRY TERRINE

Steps:

• Place the berries in an 8x4-inch loaf pan. Distribute them around evenly.
• Pour ½ cup of the grape juice in a large bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin in a thin, even layer over top (no need to stir) and let sit for 5 minutes. The powder will absorb into the juice and become very thick.
• Meanwhile, bring the remaining 1½ cups juice and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan; whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the thickened gelatin and whisk to combine.
• Carefully pour the warm gelatin mixture over the berries. Chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours, or until very firm.
• To unmold, quickly run hot water over the sides of the pan (tilting it so that the inside of the pan doesn't get wet). Invert an oblong platter over the pan and flip over. The terrine should slide right out; if it doesn't, try running a blunt knife along the edges of the pan to loosen, or run the pan under hot water briefly again. Blot any excess liquid on the platter with a paper towel. Refrigerate the terrine until ready to serve. Cut into 1-inch slices with a sharp knife.
• Make Ahead: The terrine can be made up to three days ahead of time. Once set, cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Unmold before serving.

MIXED BERRY TERRINE

Steps:

• In a bowl prepare Jello per package directions making sure all gelatin is dissolved.
• Place fruit in a 4-by-8-inch (6 cup capacity) or loaf pan; pour geletin mixture over, pressing fruit gently to submerge completely.
• Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
• To unmold, dip bottom of pan in hot water about 5 seconds.
• Invert onto a serving platter, and shake firmly to release.
• Additional fruit may be placed around mold.
• Slice and served as is or with Cool Whip.

CITRUS TERRINE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, star anise, cinnamon sticks, and 1 1/4 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, and cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat; allow syrup to cool.
• Using a paring knife, carefully remove peel, pith, and outer membranes from all citrus. Carefully slice each segment of pulp from the membranes into a sieve set over a large bowl. Transfer segments to another bowl, removing any seeds and being careful not to break segments. Set the citrus segments aside; reserve juice for another use.
• Strain cooled syrup into a medium bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over syrup; allow to dissolve, 2 minutes. Return to saucepan; place over low heat, stirring, until gelatin has fully dissolved. Remove from heat; set aside to cool.
• Coat a 4 1/2-by-9-inch loaf pan or 5-cup mold with cooking spray; line with plastic, allowing 6 inches to overhang on all sides. Fill pan with reserved citrus segments. Pressing firmly on fruit, tilt the pan, draining excess juice. Pour gelatin mixture over fruit, poking with a skewer so mixture runs into the corners. Carefully fold excess plastic over top, and chill until set, 6 hours or overnight.
• To serve, unfold plastic; place a platter on top. Carefully invert both; remove pan, holding plastic in place on platter. Remove the plastic. Slice; serve with lemon sorbet.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup grape juice; let soften 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat sugar with another 1/4 cup grape juice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in softened gelatin until dissolved, then stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups grape juice.
• Place berries in a 4-by-8-inch (6-cup-capacity) loaf pan; pour gelatin mixture over, pressing berries gently to submerge completely (remove a few berries if necessary). Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
• To unmold, dip bottom of pan in hotwater about 5 seconds. Invert onto a serving platter, and shake firmly to release. Slice to serve.
