How to Make Citrus Terrine

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 packet (about 2 1/4 teaspoons) of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of orange juice, 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved.
  4. Pour about 1/3 of the citrus mixture into a loaf pan (approximately 9x5 inches) lined with plastic wrap, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  5. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until slightly set.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the next layer: In a separate bowl, gently combine 1 cup of segmented oranges, 1/2 cup of segmented grapefruits, and 1/4 cup of segmented lemons.
  7. Carefully spoon the citrus segments over the set layer in the loaf pan.
  8. Repeat steps 4-7 with the remaining citrus mixture and segments, creating three distinct layers.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
  10. Once set, carefully lift the terrine out of the loaf pan using the overhanging plastic wrap. Slice and serve chilled.
