Valentine's Day: Bubbly-Berry Hearts




Source of Recipe


Tea Time


List of Ingredients




1 cup fresh raspberries, divided
1 cup quartered strawberries, divided
1 cup blackberries, divided
1 cup miniature grapes, divided
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 cups muscadine wine, divided
1/4 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
Garnish: Champagne grapes and fresh mint



Recipe



Divide berries and grapes among 12 silicone heart molds. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
In a medium bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold wine. Let soften for 1 minute.

In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups wine, sugar, and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil; remove from heat, and strain. Add to cold gelatin mixture, whisking to dissolve gelatin.
Pour mixture over berries, pressing berries gently to submerge completely. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.

To serve, gently unmold hearts by carefully loosening edges of gelatin. Invert onto a platter or an individual plate. Garnish with Champagne grapes and fresh mint, if desired.

YIELD: 12 Hearts
