Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 8 sheets white gelatine
  • 3/8 l light grape juice
  • 1/8 l light white wine
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 200 g small, light seedless grapes
  • 1 glass (370 g) Wild cranberries in juice
  • 7-10 Tbsp Peppermint leaves
  • 1 Carambola for garnishing (star fruit)

Directions

  1. 1

    Soak gelatine in cold water. Heat the juice, wine and sugar and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze the gelatine and dissolve in the grape juice. Pour a little liquid into the bottom of 4 tartlet moulds (approx. 1/8 litre capacity) and leave to cool to set.

  2. 2

    Wash the grapes and pluck them from the stems. Drain the cranberries on a sieve. Spread 1/3 of the fruit on each jelly in a star shape. Cover with liquid and let it gel again.

  3. 3

    Repeat this process twice more, leaving some cranberries for garnishing. After the last layer of jelly, chill for another 1 1/2 hours. Dip the moulds briefly in hot water and turn the jelly out onto plates.

  4. 4

    Garnish with remaining cranberries, mint and carambola slices. Vanilla sauce tastes good with it.
