Summer Fruit Terrine

A summer fruit terrine is such a wonderful dessert idea for the hot weather days. It is quick and easy to make, with very little preparation time. It is a beautiful idea to serve during the festive Christmas season, with all the beautiful berries giving it the pink/red idea of Christmas time. As a fan of berries myself, a summer fruit terrine is a very good idea, you can of course use other fruits as well to make summer fruit terrine. With so many different fruits available one can truly make a beautiful terrine. Be careful not to use: kiwi fruits, figs, guavas, papayas and pineapple as it contains enzymes which will prevent the terrine from setting. You will be very disappointed sitting with a terrine which refuses to set! If you would like to try something different from the apple juice or white grape juice, Rosé wine will also work well. This dessert can be made a few days in advance just like the white chocolate and nougat semifreddo, or it can be kept a few days after it was made. Also be careful when removing it from the tin, you have to work careful and be patient. When serving, you can slice them or serve it as a whole on the serving dish with lovely mint sprigs.

Ingredients:

2 bananas, thinly sliced

120 g blueberries

120 g strawberries

120 g raspberries

120 g black currents or mulberries(any fruit except kiwis, guava, figs or pineapple or papaya- it contains enzymes which will prevent the terrine to set)

3-4 Tablespoons sugar

30 ml gelatine powder

Instructions:

Line a 220 x 120 mm bread pan with cling film and arrange the fruit in layers.

Pour the water in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatine over the water and leave to sponge for about 5 minutes.

Melt the gelatine for about 30 seconds in the microwave on the defrost option(no lumps must be visible, give it a good stir).

Heat the juice and the sugar together and add the gelatine mixture.

Let the gelatine mixture dissolve by whisking it well.

Pour the warm gelatine mixture over the fruit.
