Liquor-jellied fruits and berries - Frukt och bär i likörgelé

LIQUOR-JELLIED FRUITS AND BERRIES
Frukt och bär i likörgelé

A perfect finish for a festive dinner! Beautiful and exquisite – plus low in calories, so enjoy without feeling bad about it! I remember during my university days when I studied to become a dietician/nutritionist – we worked in pairs and me and my friend Mia got the assignment to make a wedding menu for a man who was only allowed to eat so and so many grams of fat a day. We chose this for dessert and it was a success!

4 servings

12 orange wedges (approx 1½ oranges)

approx 3½ oz blue and green grapes
½ small galia melon, approx 6 oz
3½ oz raspberries
2 gelatin sheets = 2 teaspoons powdered gelatin
scant ¼ cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup white  wine
4 teaspoons blackcurrant liqueur, e.g. Cassis

Decoration:

4 tablespoons whipped cream
lemon balm leaves

Carefully peel the orange and cut out 12 skinless wedges. Pit the grapes. Make small balls of the melon. Frost the edge of 4 wine glasses by dipping the edge in water and then roll it in sugar. Divide fruits and berries in the glasses.

Soak the gelatin leaves in cold water. Bring water and sugar to a boil and keep boiling for a minute or so. Squeeze the sheets and put it in the sugar liquid, so that it melts. Blend in wine and liqueur and pour this over the fruits and berries in the glasses. Leave in the fridge to set for about 3 hours.

Decorate with a dab of whipped cream and some lemon balm leaves and serve.

Enjoy!
