Rather than packing up glasses and wine, these delicious and delicate white-sangria jellies are a spill-proof and refreshing alternative for picnics. You can also change the recipe up a bit by using different types of fruit that you have on hand. Note: there are certain fresh fruits that should not be used in gelatin recipes: fresh figs, guavas, kiwis, mangoes, melons, papayas, peaches and pineapple because they all contain enzymes that prevent gelatin from setting properly. To use these fresh fruits (except kiwi), simply peel and cut your fruit and simmer them in water until soft, 5 to 10 min. This may help deactivate the enzymes making them usable in gelatin applications.
1 bottle fruity white wine, such as Gewurztraminer or riesling
2 envelopes unflavoured gelatin powder, 7.2 g each
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 cups white grape juice
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
Pour wine into a medium saucepan and set over medium-high. Bring just to a boil, then remove from heat. Whisk in gelatin and sugar until both are dissolved. Then stir in grape juice.
Divide fruit among 6 250-mL glasses or Mason jars. Pour in wine mixture. Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.
