Ingredients:
2 (1/4-ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin |
1/2 cup water |
4 cups strained fresh blood orange juice (from about 2 dozen blood oranges) |
3 tablespoons sugar |
accompaniment: brandied whipped cream |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle gelatin over water in a large bowl and let soften 1 minute.
2. Bring 1 cup juice just to a boil and add to gelatin mixture. Add sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring until sugar and gelatin are dissolved. Stir in remaining 3 cups juice. Pour mixture into mold and chill, uncovered, until set, about 8 hours.
3. To unmold, dip mold into a bowl of hot water for just a few seconds. Shake mold from side to side, then invert onto a serving plate.
4. Cooks' note: Blood oranges can be expensive. To cut costs, you could substitute 2 cups strained regular orange juice for 2 cups blood orange juice.
