Preparation

Step 1

Makes 7 to 10 individual molds or one 7-cup gelatin mold

In a saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the cold water and allow the gelatin to absorb the water for 2 minutes. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Remove from the heat.

Transfer the gelatin mixture to a bowl, add the sugar, and stir until dissolved. Stir in the champagne and ginger ale. Refrigerate until thickened (see page 9). Fold in the strawberries and spoon into 7 to 10 individual molds or a 7-cup mold. Refrigerate until firm (see page 9). Unmold and serve.

the instruction on my gelatin box says 1 sachet of gelatin absorbs 1 cup of liquid. as there are 3 sachets and 2 cups of water in the recipe, that means we need another cup of liquid. the total of champagne and ale should add up to 1 cup, so the answer is: one 1/2 cup for each. hope my logic is right – I’m cooking right now
