Berry Terrine In Muscat De Beaumes De Venise Jelly Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• If using strawberries, halve them.
• Decoratively arrange berries in a 1 quart nonreactive terrine or loaf pan.
• Have ready a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water.
• In a cup sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water and let stand 1 minute to soften.
• In a small saucepan simmer wine and sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in gelatin mixture until well dissolved.
• Stir in the lime juice and remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water and transfer mixture to bowl set in ice water.
• Cool mixture, stirring occasionally, to room temperature.
• Pour mixture slowly over fruit.
• Chill terrine, covered, until firm, at least six hours and up to 2 days.
• Dip a knife in hot water and run knife around edge of terrine or loaf pan.
• Dip terrine or loaf pan into a larger pan of hot water 3-5 seconds to loosen.
• Invert a serving plate over terrine or pan and invert terrine onto plate.

Steps:

• Combine the Muscat, water and honey in a large noncorroding saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, peel the pears neatly with a vegetable peeler, keeping the stem but removing the blossom end. Drop each pear into the simmering liquid as you peel it. Lay a piece of parchment paper directly on the pears to keep them moist.
• Lower heat so that the liquid is just under a simmer. Cook until the pears are barely tender when tested with a knife in the blossom-end side, about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the pears.
• Remove the pears and cool in a container in a single layer. Increase heat and simmer the cooking liquid until reduced to about three quarters of its original volume, about 20 minutes. Cool separately from the pears. When pears and syrup are both cool, combine and refrigerate until cold, preferably overnight. Serve with creme fraiche and crisp cookies.
