Mixed Berry Terrine

.     2 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin
  • 2 cups white grape juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • Directions

    1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup grape juice; let soften 2 to 3 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, heat sugar with another 1/4 cup grape juice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in softened gelatin until dissolved, then stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups grape juice.
    3. Place berries in a 4-by-8-inch (6-cup-capacity) loaf pan; pour gelatin mixture over, pressing berries gently to submerge completely (remove a few berries if necessary). Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
    4. To unmold, dip bottom of pan in hotwater about 5 seconds. Invert onto a serving platter, and shake firmly to release. Slice to serve.
