Rose wine jelly with summer fruits

Michael Craig

Summer also calls for a glass of beautiful New Zealand rose. We have taken one of our favourite summertime drinks and turned it into a refreshing jelly filled with fresh berries and a dollop of cream. It’s a perfect refreshing treat at the end of the day and a great dessert if you are entertaining, because you can have them sitting in the fridge ready to go.

Ingredients

600 ml	Rosé wine (Main)
100 g	Sugar
2 ½ tsp	Gelatine, powdered (Main)
4	Strawberries, sliced (Main)
20	Blueberries
½ cup	Whipped cream
¼ cup	Freeze-dried raspberries

Directions

1. Place the wine and sugar in a large pot. Heat until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Add the gelatine to the wine mixture. Stir well until it dissolves.
3. In four glasses of your choice (we used wine glasses) add a sliced strawberry and some of the blueberries. Pour over the wine mix and allow to set in the fridge for about 4 hours.
4. Serve with whipped cream and sprinkle over the freeze-dried raspberries to serve.
