Terrina Helada Roja con Jamaica
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 cups pink grapefruit juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups hibiscus flowers
- 6 cups water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup reserved flowers from compote
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 to 3 cups sliced or chopped mixed berries
- TO MAKE THE PINK GRAPEFRUIT, combine the water and sugar in a small pot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk in the juice and refrigerate until completely cool.
- Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions.
- Divide the frozen sorbet in half and freeze in separate containers.
- TO MAKE RASPBERRY SORBET, combine the water and sugar in a small pot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Puree the raspberries with the lime juice in a blender, strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to extract as much juice as possible, and discard the seeds.
- Whisk in the cooled syrup and refrigerate until completely cool.
- Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions.
- Divide the frozen sorbet in half and freeze in separate containers.
- TO MAKE THE HIBISCUS COMPOTE, combine the hibiscus flowers, water, sugar, and vanilla bean (scrape with the tip of a knife and add it with the pod) in a pot.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until reduced to 4 cups, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let steep for 30 minutes.
- Remove the vanilla bean and reserve for another use.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let stand for a couple of minutes to soften.
- Stir to combine, strain, reserve 1 cup of the flowers, and let cool completely (add a bit more water to make 4 cups if youve reduced it too much).
- TO MAKE THE CANDIED HIBISCUS, lay the reserved hibiscus flowers on a rack to dry for 1 hour.
- Combine the water and 1 cup of the sugar in a small pot and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Add the hibiscus flowers, stir to combine, and lay on a rack to dry for 1 hour.
- Toss with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and allow to set.
- (This can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in a dry area for up to 3 days.)
- To assemble the terrine, lightly oil a 12 by 4 1/2 by 3-inch loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with plastic wrap (use 2 or 3 pieces, if necessary), leaving about 3 inches overhanging all around.
- Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Thaw one of the grapefruit sorbet containers in the refrigerator until you can spread it but it is still frozen, about 30 minutes.
- Scoop it into the prepared pan and spread in an even layer using an offset spatula.
- Freeze until firm.
- Meanwhile, thaw one of the raspberry sorbet containers in the refrigerator in the same manner.
- Spread in an even layer, freeze until firm, and repeat the process once more, alternating flavors.
- When the last layer of sorbet is spread, cover the whole thing with the plastic wrap that was overhanging and freeze overnight (this can be made up to 1 week in advance).
- When ready to serve, unwrap the top and invert the pan onto a chilled serving dish.
- Allow to sit for a few minutes so it thaws out enough for you to remove the pan (you could also dampen a cloth with hot water, wring it out, and place it all around for a minute or so).
- Peel off the plastic wrap and slice into the desired thickness (you can slice these ahead of time, placing a piece of parchment paper between each slice and storing in an airtight container in the freezer).
- To serve, put some of the mixed berries on a plate, lean or rest a slice of terrine on top, and scatter with a couple of candied flowers.
- Pass the compote at the table.
