Une Jolie Gelée De Porto~
This is so pretty! And Easy..Remember that beautiful blog I mentioned to you a few times?
La Casserole Carrée?
That's where I found this little treat that had my husband's name stamped on it..
He is a lover of Porto~And Bread..And Cheese..and Wine~:)And some Ales~..
And I..just loved the look of it~
The above is after a sliver had been removed:)
La Recette~
Courtesy of the above beautiful blog~
1 Cup good quality Porto
1/2 cup raisins
1 1/2 tsps gelatin.
In a small bowl.. combine the Port..and raisins and let the flavors meld ap 1 hrs..
Place all in a small saucepan..
Sprinkle the gelatin over..and let it bloom for a few minutes..
Warm over low heat until all the gelatin is dissolved..
Remove from heat and let sit until it becomes room temp.
Strain through a Chinois....very very fine sieve..
Reserve the raisins..
pour the Port mixture in small molds..
I made 2 of the small molds that I showed you here..
Perfect size..
Place in refrigerator for ap. 3 hrs..
To unmold.. moisten the mold with warm water..
It will pop out~
I made 2..
Slice thinly upon appetizer presentation and place on a slice of baguette or crostini.. top w/ a strong delicious cheddar or really any delicious cheese ..
It's really very good..
You can also add the raisins..the Porto raisins:)I found mine chewy and sticky..I think a light chutney would be better because of my poor raisins:)
I will make this again~
With a home made baguette..it's even better..add beautiful French Flair background and foreground..and le tour est joué~
C'est vraiment beau et bon~

How very beautiful Monique. Your pictures as always are exceptional! xxoo
ReplyDeleteHello Monique, the Porto Gelee sounds wonderful. I'll be making this...so easy and pretty. Of course, the photo is stunning.
ReplyDeleteWow...it turned out beautifully. This reminds me of a Puerto Rican dessert that I was introduced to: fried dough, quince jelly, and cream cheese. Sounds weird but it is sooo delcious. They eat it for breakfast too.
ReplyDeleteGood morning..I hope you all like it who try it..
ReplyDeleteJessica..it doesn't sound weird at all:)
Have a wonderful day everyone..By the way the lovely watercolor..Is African Tapestry..Ronelle's beautiful work..
I sent you to her new Gallery on a previous post..I know she is humble..so here in comments..it's less showy:)
such gorgeous pics, i love the day lily tossed in too, rich, warm and sensual pics ...
ReplyDeleteoh i am blushing!
Beautiful composition regarding photos. Wow, what a rich deep red/burgundy color...just luxurious.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't be easier, could it? Great snack to have with cheese and bread and much easier to make than quince jelly. I see why you feel for it... gorgeous snaps too!!!
ReplyDeletehow delightful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Like a ruby!
ReplyDeleteC'est parfait! And I LOVE a good Port too!
