Champagne Jelly With Raspberries

We start each day with our personal security resting not on the accepting love of God and the sacrifice of Christ but on our present feelings or recent achievements in the Christian life. Since these arguments will not quiet the human conscience, we are inevitably moved either to discouragement and apathy or to a self-righteousness which falsifies the record to achieve a sense of peace. But the faith that is able to warm itself at the fire of God’s love, instead of having to steal love and self-acceptance from other sources, is actually the root of peace.

		oz
1 1/2	c	Water
1	c	Sugar
		Zest of 1 lemon, removed in

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small bowl, soften the gelatin in 3 tablespoons of the water. In
a saucepan, heat the remaining water over low heat and add the
gelatin. Stir until the gelatin dissolves and add the sugar, lemon
zest, and juice. Heat to just below the boil and remove from the  heat.
Cover and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain the liquid through a  fine
sieve into a shallow metal bowl. Discard the lemon zest and  leave the
liquid to cool. Watch it carefully and, when it is quite  cool and just
about to set, stir in the champagne. Pour into  perfectly clean tall
champagne flutes and drop a few raspberries into  each. Chill until
cold and serve, garnished with a few more  raspberries and a sprig of
mint. This recipe yields 6 servings.  Recipe Source: TOO HOT TAMALES
