Method:
• Line an 8-inch bowl with clear plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator, you will need approximately
3-inch overlap of film.
• Place wine and sugar in saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the fruit coulis, lemon juice, gelatin sheet and fresh herbs and infuse for 15 minutes.
• Pass the puree onto the prepared berries and warm gently.
• Allow berries to cool in the liquid.
• Strain the berries in a colander, reserving the liquid.
• Using a sharp knife, slice the breadas thin as possible and dip into the reserved liquid and line the prepared bowl, overlapping the slices to ensure there are no gaps between slices.
• Once the bowl is lined with the bread, fill the bowl with the berries and fold over the bread back to the centre of the bowl.
• Cover with plastic wrap, gently press and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• Turn onto a plate and serve with Whipped Mescarpone or Devonshire cream.
