How to Make Hexenschnee Witches Snow

  1. Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. Combine the base: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup applesauce, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup apricot preserves, 2 tablespoons rum (optional), and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  3. Activate the gelatin: Gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until it is completely dissolved and just under boiling. Do not boil.
  4. Combine and dissolve: Pour the warm gelatin mixture into the applesauce mixture, whisking constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Initial chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or until it begins to thicken and slightly gel, stirring occasionally to prevent skin formation.
  6. Prepare the mold: Lightly grease a 6-cup jello or salad mold with cooking oil or non-stick spray. Set aside.
  7. Whip the egg whites: Once the mixture is starting to set, gently fold in 3 large egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form and the mixture is very thick and holds its shape.
  8. Mold and chill: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared mold. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
  9. Serve: To unmold, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the mold. Invert onto a chilled serving plate. Garnish with fresh seasonal berries and serve immediately.
