Slut Red Raspberries in Chardonnay Jelly ….adulterated from Forever Summer at Nigella.com
There is something very romantic about guzzling this on Valentine’s Day.
Nigella’s writes: “You might think that no recipe could live up to this title. It’s a reasonable presumption, but thank God, a wrong one. This is heaven on the plate: the wine-soused raspberries take on a stained glass, lucent red, their very raspberriness enhanced; the soft, translucently pale coral just-set jelly in which they sit has a heady, floral fragrance that could make a grateful eater weep.
It is the best present a food writer could ever have. Now it’s yours” Thank you Nigella
You need for you and George Clooney:
1 bottles of White wine, such as Chardonnay choose a good fruity variety
300g Raspberries
1 vanilla pods, split lengthways
5 sheets leaf gelatine
250g caster sugar
1 carton double cream, to serve
- Slip into Gucci Bikini.
- Climb into Alexander McQueen platforms; Bless.
- Pour a Champagne
- Open the wine
- Taste it to make sure it’s right for the recipe.
- Pour it over the berries in a bowl.
- Let it marinate and to steep for half an hour while you apply face mask.
- After half an hour you can strain the wine into a saucepan and put the raspberries to one side for a little alone time.
- Now grab the saucepan with the wine and toss in a vanilla pod and heat it up
- Wait till it’s nearly boiling ( as you are over the stove on a hot day) and then turn it off and leave to cool and marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Time to soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for about 5 minutes in a jug. Make sure it’s all dissolved and mixed up.
- Guzzle down another champers.
- Now go back to wine (not in the fridge) and remove the vanilla pod.
- Then reheat the wine and toss in and stir the sugar until it dissolves. Turn off the heat
- Tip: Nigella says “allow to boil if you want to lose the alcohol.” As if.
- You can now add a third of the hot wine to the wrung-out gelatine leaves in a measuring jug and stir to dissolve.
- This is just to make sure they dissolve properly.
- Then pour this mixture back into the rest of the wine and stir well.
- Ok, You can taste it. Divine even if it is warm.
- Strain this into a large jug.
- If you want to serve the jelly in chic little bowls then toss the raspberries into about six ( or one big), clear chic glass bowls
- Pour the strained wine over the top. Doesn’t that look fabulous? Drunk Raspberries. Hic.
- Pop into the fridge to set for at least 3 hours
- Tip: You can make a day ahead and it will be delicious.
- Before serving take out of the fridge about 15 minute before eating so it’s not too cold and give you a headache.
- Take off face mask before George Clooney gets home.
- Reapply lip gloss.
- Serve drizzled with naughty but divine thick double cream.
- A beautiful, soft and luxurious red jewel dessert.
- Swoon!
