Peaches and gin go hand in hand. When I made my first jar of\u00a0Peach Jam with Gin<\/a>\u00a0I discovered peaches and gin go hand in hand. Obviously, when I started to look for an idea of a peach dessert, I immediately thought of gin addition.<\/p>\n

I wanted a high concentration of peach taste in a light, refreshing treat for hot days and the mousse idea appealed to me at once. All the recipes I saw or knew called for cream, yogurt, cream cheese or egg whites, but I decided to stick to the basics: fruit, gin and gelatin.\u00a0The result was an irresistible explosion of peach flavour, with a slightly sharp note due to the gin addition. This cooling dessert reminded me of a sorbet, but softer, neater and rather for adults.<\/p>\n

TIP: The amounts of gelatin depend sometimes on the brand. Leaves are sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller, \u00a0 powdered gelatin sometimes contains other products and doesn’t set as well as pure gelatin in powder… In short, the aim here is to use here the amount of gelatin which sets 300 ml\/about 10 oz liquid. (The whole mousse mixture has a more than 300 ml, so the mousse will be firm but not hard).<\/p>\n

Preparation: 10 minutes+ a couple of hours in the fridge<\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients (serves 3 – 4):<\/em><\/p>\n

4 very ripe peaches (about1\/2 kg)<\/em><\/p>\n

2\/3 tablespoon powdered gelatin (you can use of course leaves, the amount necessary to set 300 ml liquid; this way you will obtain a “moussy” texture, see the TIP above)<\/em><\/p>\n

juice from 1\/2 lemon<\/em><\/p>\n

100 ml gin<\/em><\/p>\n

Put the peaches in boiling water for two minutes. Take them away with a slotted spoon and place immediately in cold water. After a couple of minutes the peel will come off easily with fingers.<\/p>\n

Remove the stones and mix the fruit with the gin in a food processor.<\/p>\n

Dissolve the gelatin in a couple of tablespoons of warm water and add to the peach mixture.<\/p>\n

Mix well for 1 minute.<\/p>\n

Pour the still liquid mousse into individual bowls and place in the fridge for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

It will keep in the fridge for several days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
