Steps:
- Peel and section the fruit into a bowl, squeezing out all of the juice. Measure out 3/4 cup/175 ml of juice and put it in a saucepan with the wine. Add the sugar and heat to dissolve. Pour 1/4 cup/60 ml off into a bowl and soften the gelatine in it one minute. Return it to the pan. Stir to dissolve, and boil 2 minutes. Cool completely.
- Line a 1-quart/1-litre terrine or glass loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the terrine afterwards. Arrange the fruit decorative in the terrine. Pour the liquid over. Chill terrine, covered, until firm, at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days. Garnish with mint sprigs or candied orange zest.
ORANGE-GRAPEFRUIT MARMALADE WITH GINGER
Steps:
- Cut fruit in half, squeeze out juice and pulp, discard seeds. The volume of this should be approximately 4 cups. Remove zest, this should yield approximately 1/2 cup. Transfer juice, pulp and zest to a large glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. This helps the peel to soften.
- After soaking, put the citrus in a large stockpot. Add 6 cups of water, simmer for 1 1/2 hours. A sample of the peel should feel quite tender if rubbed between fingers. Add sugar and ginger. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Boil hard for 20 minutes until sugar is dissolved and mixture is thickened. If the mixture foams up, add a pat of butter and the froth will subside.
- Test for jell-point: drop a small amount of hot marmalade on a chilled plate. Return to the freezer for 1 minute. If surface forms a skin, it has reached jelling point, if still syrupy, continue cooking and test again in 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in pectin. Cool for 15 minutes, spoon into half-pint sterilized jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace and seal.
- ** Recipe Note: Traditionally the citrus seeds and pith are enclosed in a nylon bag and boiled along with the juice/pulp. This releases the natural pectin that is stored in that part of the orange. For time and ease, we eliminated that step and used store-bought fruit pectin. It worked very well.
- ***To sterilize the canning jars, wash the containers in hot, soapy water and rinse. Boil them in a large pot for 10 minutes. Keep the jars in hot water until ready to use to prevent the jars from cracking. Dry with paper towels before filling with marmalade. Once filled, put on lids and collar. Boil again for 10 minutes to seal the jars.

CITRUS TERRINE WITH CANDIED GRAPEFRUIT STRIPS
Steps:
- With a sharp knife cut peel from fruits, including all white pith, and cut sections free from membranes. Chop candied grapefruit strips. Arrange fruit sections and candied grapefruit decoratively in a 1-quart nonreactive terrine or loaf pan.
- In a cup sprinkle gelatin over 3 tablespoons cold water and let stand about 1 minute to soften. In a small saucepan bring Muscat and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and boil 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved. Stir in remaining ‚ cup water and transfer mixture to a bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Cool mixture slightly, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture slowly over fruit. Chill terrine, covered, until firm, at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days. Dip a thin knife in hot water and run knife around edge of terrine or loaf pan. Dip terrine or loaf pan into a larger pan of hot water 3 to 5 seconds to loosen. Invert a serving plate over terrine or loaf pan and invert terrine onto plate.
Tips:
- Choose ripe grapefruits and oranges: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful the terrine will be.
- Use a sharp knife to segment the citrus fruits: This will help to prevent the fruit from tearing.
- Work quickly when assembling the terrine: The gelatin will start to set quickly, so it's important to work quickly to get the terrine into the mold.
- Chill the terrine for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the gelatin to set completely and the flavors to meld.
- Serve the terrine with a dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche: This will add a touch of richness and creaminess to the dish.
Conclusion:
Pink Grapefruit and Orange Terrine is a refreshing and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its beautiful presentation and delicious flavor, this terrine is sure to impress your guests.
