Berry And Banana Terrine Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup grape juice; let soften, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat sugar with 1/4 cup grape juice in a small saucepan over medium-high, stirring, 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) 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 (or up to 2 days, covered with plastic wrap).
• To unmold, dip bottom of pan in hot water about 5 seconds. Invert onto a serving platter, and shake firmly to release. Slice to serve.

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.
