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~
