Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 cups fresh blackberries (about eight 1/2-pint baskets) or frozen (about 40 ounces), thawed
1 cup plus 7 tablespoons white grape juice
1 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
5 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
Vanilla Whipped Cream
Fresh mint sprigs

Steps:

  • Puree 6 cups blackberries in processor. Pour puree into fine strainer set over 4-cup measuring cup. Press on solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids in strainer. Measure 3 cups puree (reserve any remaining puree for another use). Stir 1 cup grape juice, 1 cup sugar and lemon peel into blackberry puree.
  • Pour remaining 7 tablespoons grape juice into small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over; let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Stir gelatin mixture over medium-low heat until gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute (do not boil). Gradually whisk warm gelatin mixture into puree mixture. Transfer to 8 x 8 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
  • Mix remaining 3 cups blackberries and 4 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl. Let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours, tossing occasionally.
  • Spoon generous 1/4 cup blackberry gelatin into each of 8 parfait glasses or wine glasses. Top with a few sweetened blackberries. Spoon about 1/3 cup Vanilla Whipped Cream over. Repeat layering. Top with a few more berries. Garnish with mint and serve.

HOMEMADE BLACKBERRY GELATIN & CHILLED BLACKBERRY PARFAITS



Homemade Blackberry Gelatin & Chilled Blackberry Parfaits image

From Bon Appetit, August 1998. Make the gelatin at least one day ahead so that it has time to set. For a sophisticated dessert, layer the blackberry gelatin with sweetened vanilla whipped cream and a few sweetened blackberries in parfait glasses or wine glasses. If only making gelatin, will serve four.
