By

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unflavoured gelatin
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups dry white or sparkling wine
  • 15 ounces small, seedless red and green grapes
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons sugar, more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or Cognac

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Stir the gelatine into 2 tablespoons of water, and set aside to soften. Put the sugar and wine in a saucepan, and heat to dissolve the sugar. Do not boil. Remove the wine from the heat and whisk in the gelatin until completely dissolved. Cool.
Arrange the grapes in 6 ramekins or tea cups. Pour over the wine mixture. Cover, and chill several hours to set. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the moulds and dip the bottoms into hot water for a few seconds, then invert onto serving plates. Whip the cream with the sugar and flavouring to serve alongside.
