BERRIES IN CHAMPAGNE JELLY
My sister gave me this recipe a few years back when I was looking for an elegant fruit dish to serve guests. I sometimes serve this party-pretty fruit treat at brunch-just before the main dish. It's also sparkly and special enough to double as a light dessert. -Andrea Barnhoom, Scottsville, New York

Steps:
- Combine strawberries, champagne, lemon juice, and pectin in a nonreactive pan; bring to boil. Stir sugar into strawberry mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture returns to a boil. Cook until sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Ladle jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:
- Place gelatin in a heatproof bowl and add enough Champagne to cover (about a scant 1/2 cup); let stand 10 minutes. Place bowl over (but not touching) simmering water, stirring occasionally, until gelatin has melted; stir in sugar until dissolved.
- Stir another scant 1/2 cup Champagne into gelatin mixture and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a large liquid measuring cup. Strain lemon juice through sieve and add enough Champagne to gelatin mixture to make 2 cups.
- Place fruits in the bottom of a 2-cup mold. Add one-third of the gelatin mixture and transfer mold to refrigerator. Refrigerate until fruit is set, about 2 hours. Add remaining gelatin mixture to mold and return to refrigerator until set, 2 to 4 hours more.
- Moisten a serving plate with water. To unmold, set the mold in a bowl filled with warm water until the jelly around the edge has melted just slightly (this can take anywhere from 2 to 30 seconds). Invert mold onto prepared serving plate. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor.
- If you don't have champagne, you can substitute sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
- To make the jelly ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of adding the berries. Then, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, add the berries and follow the remaining steps.
- Garnish the jelly with additional berries, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
