Sparkling Raspberry Jellies Recipes

SPARKLING RASPBERRY LIMEADE

Steps:

• Add the sugar, raspberries and 1 cup water to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Press the berries with the back of a wooden spoon so their juices leach into the mixture. Let sit and steep until cool. Strain, discarding the solids.
• Combine the cooled raspberry syrup, lime juice and club soda in a large pitcher. Pour into tall glasses filled with ice and garnish with the lime slices and a few extra berries.

RASPBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Combine fruit and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, mashing occasionally with a potato masher, until fruit is very soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer mixture to a fine sieve set over a heatproof bowl; let drain without pressing on fruit, 4 hours. Strain again through sieve lined with damp cheesecloth. Measure juice; you will have 3 to 4 cups.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, bring juice to a boil. Add 3/4 cup sugar for each cup of juice. Add lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Return to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, 8 to 12 minutes. To test if jelly is done, dip a large metal spoon in, lift it horizontally above pot, and let mixture drip back in. Jelly is done when mixture has thickened slightly and drops of it slide together off spoon in a sheet. (Temperature should register 221 degrees on a candy thermometer.) Skim foam from top.
• Ladle jelly into clean containers, leaving 3/4 inch of headroom. Let cool completely. Cover, label, and refrigerate up to 1 month, or freeze up to 1 year.

CRAN-RASPBERRY JELLIES

Steps:

• Line an 8x8-inch pan with waxed paper; coat the paper with vegetable oil.
• Combine 1 cup sugar, jellied cranberry sauce, and raspberry Jell-O® mix in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar and gelatin have dissolved. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring often. Mix walnuts into candy.
• Pour candy into prepared pan and let set at room temperature overnight. Cut candy into squares and roll squares in sugar. Place sugared candies onto waxed paper to set.

SPARKLING HOLIDAY JAM

Steps:

• Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Let simmer while making jam.
• In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, cranberries, pectin, and margarine. Bring to a boil. Stir in sugar, and return to a boil. Cook for 1 minute; remove from heat.
• Quickly fill jars to within 1/2 inch from top. Wipe rims clean, and put on lids. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

SPARKLING RASPBERRY GELATIN

Steps:

• In medium bowl, place raspberry gelatin. Pour boiling water over gelatin and stir until dissolved. Add cold water; stir until well combined. Cool slightly. Place 4 raspberries in each of 4 champagne glasses; fill each glass about one-third full with raspberry gelatin. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
• In small saucepan, heat whipping cream, white chocolate and 3 tablespoons sugar over medium heat until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat; cool. In small bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin over milk; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Pour milk mixture over cooled white chocolate mixture; stir until blended. Pour over raspberry layer in each glass. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
• In small saucepan, heat 1 cup of the champagne and 3 tablespoons sugar to boiling. Remove from heat; cool. In small bowl, sprinkle 1 envelope unflavored gelatin over remaining 1 cup champagne; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Pour gelatin mixture over cooled champagne mixture; stir until blended. Pour over white chocolate layer in each glass. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

RASPBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Wash raspberries, removing any stems, leaves or rotten berries.
• Transfer clean raspberries into a large, stainless steel stock pot, and heat over low until barely warm. Crush berries (I used a potato masher) to extract juice.
• Line a big sieve or colander with several layers of cheesecloth and place over a bowl. I use a big 8-cup marked measuring bowl. Pour mashed raspberries into colander, tie cheesecloth up into a bag, and hang to drip for several hours or overnight.
• If you have a really good juicer, scoop remaining pulp out of cheesecloth bag and run through the juicer. Otherwise squeeze your cheesecloth bag on regular intervals to make sure you extract as much juice as possible.
• wash out your jars, lids and rings. put jars into canning kettle and bring to a boil. place rings and lids in a bowl of hot water.
• Measure your juice, and the pulp you get from the juicer (here's where the marked measuring bowl comes in handy :-) ). You want 4 cups of juice. Add a little fruit juice or water if necessary.
• Pour raspberry juice into your large, stainless steel stock pot, and add your dry pectin, stirring the whole time you are adding it.
• Place pot on stove on high heat, and bring to a full rolling boil, stirring often.
• pour sugar slowly into boiling rhubarb (a second pair of hands is useful for this step!), stirring as you go.
• Keep stirring to prevent sticking and burning, until mixture returns to a full boil. Continue to boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when done.
• pour jelly into processed jars, putting on lids and rings, tightening to finger tight.
• process in water bath in your canner for 5 minutes.
• remove and place on a dry towel to cool for 24 hours. Lids should pop down fairly quickly. Enjoy!

ELDERFLOWER & RASPBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Arrange half of the raspberries (choose similar-sized ones) in 2 x 150ml darioles or moulds.
• Cut the remaining raspberries into halves and place in a mixing bowl. Squeeze over the lemon juice and sprinkle with caster sugar, then toss. Cover and chill in the fridge.
• Put the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water to soften. Pour the cordial and 50ml of the Prosecco into a saucepan. Heat until just simmering, then take off the heat.
• Take the softened gelatine leaves out of the bowl and squeeze out the excess water. Put them in the saucepan and whisk together to combine. Reduce the temperature until it's cool enough to touch (try placing the pan in a shallow sink of cold water). Once the liquid is cool, gently add the remaining Prosecco and stir. The more gently you stir, the more fizz you will have in your jelly. Carefully pour into the jelly moulds. Put the moulds onto a metal tray and place in the fridge. They will take 3-4 hrs to set.
• To serve, turn out the jelly onto a plate and spoon over the macerated raspberries. Decorate the plate with a few elderflowers or try sprinkling a little cracked black pepper over the top, if you like.
