About the dish

En klar rødvinsgelé fra «Kogebog for skole og hjem» (1900) av Henriette Schønberg Erken og Caroline Steen. Vinpuddinger var festmat i borgerlige hjem rundt forrige århundreskifte, og geléen ble stivnet i pyntelige former.

    Soak the gelatine

    Place the gelatine sheets in cold water for a few minutes until soft.

    Mix red wine and water in a pot. Add the sugar, the finely chopped lemon zest (without the white pith), the squeezed lemon juice and the softened gelatine.

  3. 3

    Boil and strain

    Set everything over the heat and bring to a single boil. Strain the mixture.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Turn the pudding out and serve with custard sauce.

Changes from the original

Gelatinmengden er angitt i gram som i originalen; moderne oppskrifter bruker gjerne 6-8 plater per halvliter væske, så 35 g her gir en fast pudding. Sitron er spesifisert til skall og saft. Mengder ellers uendret; prisene er utelatt.
