Ingredients
Apple-Rhubarb Gelatins
- Ingredients
- ½ cup Apple juice
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 6 sheets gelatin
- 1 ¾ cups Rhubarb juice
- 1 Lime
- 2 Tbsps honey
- 14 ozs Strawberries
- 3 sprigs Lemon balm
Heat the apple juice and sugar in a pot, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Soak the gelatin in a bowl of cold water until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the gelatin to the juice mixture and stir to dissolve. Stir in the rhubarb juice.
Divide mixture among 4 molds or cups (each about 120 ml capacity) (approximately 1/2-cup capacity). Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 8-12 hours (preferably overnight).
About 1 hour before serving, rinse the lime in hot water and wipe dry. Use a julienne zester to remove zest in fine strips or peel with a vegetable peeler and cut into fine strips.
Squeeze out the lime juice. Mix together 4 tablespoons juice with the lime zest and honey in a bowl.
Rinse and hull the strawberries and pat dry, then cut in half or quarters depending on size. Gently mix with the lime dressing and let stand about 45 minutes.
Remove the rhubarb gelatins from the refrigerator, dip the bottoms of the molds or cups in hot water to loosen and invert each one onto a plate.
Rinse the lemon balm, shake dry, pluck leaves and cut into thin strips. Divide the marinated strawberries among plates, sprinkle with lemon balm and serve.
