Are you ready for this jelly? Impress your next BBQ guests with sangria you can eat.
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped rhubarb
1 cup coarsely chopped strawberry
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 7-g pkgs powdered gelatin
1 750-mL bottle chilled rose wine
1 cup club soda
sliced strawberries
SYRUP: Combine sugar, water, rhubarb and strawberries in a medium saucepan. Boil over medium-high until the fruits turn mushy when pressed, 8 to 9 min. Strain, using the back of a spoon to press liquid out of fruit. Cool completely. Will keep, refrigerated, up to 1 week.
ONCE syrup is strained, add lemon juice and stir in gelatin until dissolved. (It will foam.) Stir in wine and club soda. Add a few sliced strawberries to glasses or ramekins, then top with sangria jelly mixture. Refrigerate until softly set, about 6 hr (preferably overnight).
Chatelaine celebrates, inspires, informs and empowers. We know that Canadian women contain multitudes, and we cover all of the issues—big and small—that matter to them, from climate change to caregiving, Canadian fashion and what to cook now.
