    Happy New Year! The festive season is coming to an end at Audley End House and we find Mrs Crocombe busy preparing a light after-dinner palate cleanser. An ideal way to celebrate, this sparkling wine jelly is very easy to make and will keep its bubbles even after setting if properly chilled in advance. Keep in mind, it's just as alcoholic as a glass of Champagne!

    INGREDIENTS
    • Bottle of Champagne (or another sparkling wine)
    • 5 oz (140g) sugar
    • 8 sheets gelatine
    • Diced fruit (optional)
    METHOD
    1. Chill the Champagne as cool as possible before beginning. This will help to keep the bubbles in. You could put it in the freezer for 30-40 minutes, but be sure not to forget it's in there as it will explode!
    2. Soak the gelatine sheets in cold water.
    3. Put a little Champagne in a pan and heat with the sugar and gelatine sheets, stirring until dissolved.
    4. Strain the mixture and leave to cool at room temperature.
    5. Once cooled, gently add the remainder of the Champagne.
    6. Pour into moulds and allow to set in the fridge for a few hours.
    7. Turn out of the moulds and serve.

    What she said about gas and electric lighting is something that was in the middle of changing during the Victorian Era. Candle light was widely used for a long, long time, but around the time of the Victorian Period, the use of gas as a light source started to appear inside homes. It worked, and was a large part of why ornate wallpaper became so widely used (and had the unintended side effect of causing arsenic poisoning, since the first real standalone green pigment, Scheele’s Green, was extremely popular and the main ingredient of it was arsenic). The problems it caused, though, was that it left a grimy residue, and was also potentially explosive.
    Thus, the later Victorian period saw the development of electric lighting, seen as a much better, cleaner alternative to gas lighting. Big names at the time welcomes electricity into their homes, thus it became seen as the new big thing, something that, if you could afford electrification into your home, you were sort of a hot shot, the right type of person to be around. Funny thing too, it was so new and unknown how it worked for so many people, there were little placards that told people not to attempt to light the thing with a match, but rather all you had to do was flick the switch!

    I am fascinated by the whole Victorian/Edwardian jelly dish concept. The molds, the various different ingredient styles, layering and the internal decorations (flower petals, etc). Its not much of a food item, but its such a beautiful thing that just disappeared from western dining tables. Ironically in some ex-colonies in Asia, Jelly traditions are still very much alive (although usually made with agar agar), but they retain the concept of intricate designs.

      It was well and alive in the U.S. through the 1970's, with Jello Salads and plenty of cookbooks with recipes. But I think the perception soured when Aspics (meat gelatins) were popular and every name brand hopped on this fad. It didn't disappear entirely, there are still a wide variety of flavors. It just doesn't have the perceived luxury or popularity it once had.

    During the Victorian age, gelatin was extracted by boiling cow or pig hooves in a giant kettle for several hours. Next, the liquid would be strained and the bones discarded. The liquid was then left out for a day, give or take, to settle. After skimming the fat off the top, flavoring was added and, voila, a gelatin dessert was born!

      You too can have "Champagne" as a palette cleanser. When it doesn't come from Champagne, it is called Cuvée Brut. The one closest in taste to the finest French champagnes is from Patagonia, but it's not available in very many places. But if you happen to know someone who imports food from Argentina or Chile already, you could ask about it. It won't be expensive due to the exchange rate being very favorable and this terroir being wildly underappreciated. Cuvée Brut from Washington State or British Columbia is perfectly good, but be aware that it is slightly less sweet and crisp due to the cloudier weather. Mixing in a teaspoon of apple juice would help. The wines labeled Cuvée Brut from California or Spain or Australia are NOT good for this use: the flavor is much too fruity, due to the warmer climate. They taste more like Prosecco. If you're really on a budget and your main concern is looks, there is also Pear Cidre Brut by Stella Artois. It has the same texture as fine champagne, but it is made from cast off apples and pears rather than carefully cultivated grapes so the price is much much lower. It costs only as much as a slightly fancy beer. It makes a lovely off-white jelly with a delicate but tart flavor. You'll want to dilute it with some non-alcoholic white pear juice though, as the cider is much less sweet and more alcoholic than Champagne (a typical French Champagne will be >5% alcohol, An American Cuvée Brut might get as high as 7%, Cidre Brut is 10-13% alcohol as with most ciders). You'll want 200ml of juice for 1 litre of cider. Eat the rich, but also eat like the rich 😎.

    I don't have champagne but I definitely have a bottle of Moscato I would love to use. Yum! I take it nothing was used inside the mold at all, first. They are completely dry when the jelly liquid is poured in? Thank you for making my day sweeter.

    I've made similar jelly, but I used fruit juice and fizzy lemonade as it was for my sons sixth birthday. It's fun eating gelatin dishes that have been made with a fizzy drink as the bubbles still tickle.

    It is genuinely humbling sometimes remembering just how much effort went into making gelatin prior to the introduction of the commercially available stuff. It really used to be a status symbol.

      The other problem with homemade gelatin was getting rid of the faint odor of "animal".
      Even in ads from the 1920s and 30s, when powdered Royal gelatin became available, the selling point was no disgusting aromas.

    Aloha nō mai Hawaiʻi! Greetings from Hawaiʻi! I've only just recently stumbled upon this brilliant RUclips channel. Our Queen Emma of Hawaiʻi had a friendly relationship with your Queen Victoria, so friendly that Queen Emma was invited to spend the night at Windsor Castle on her visit to England whilst raising funds to build St. Andrew's Cathedral here in Honolulu (an Anglican church originally, now an Episcopalian church).
    I consider myself to be an Anglophile, as I'm sure many of my ancestors were (evident by all the women named Victoria from that time), and watching your videos gives me wonderful insight into the culture of that time. Thank you so much for your work, or as we say in our language, Mahalo nui loa no ko ʻoukou hana ikaika. Mele Kalikimaka a me Hapenūia! Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year!

    I've been having fun using plain gelatin to make fruit juice gelatin from cranberry juice, cherry juice, and I have some leftover pineapple juice that I'm going to use. Since it's pasteurized it shouldn't break down the gelatin, but now I want to make champagne jelly.

    • @glendawest5256
      @glendawest5256 Год назад +1

      Pineapple will be tricky as it contains enzymes which stop the jelling. Likely best to read up a bit on that one first.
