For years I have successfully made Delia's wonderful summer fruit terrine. It asks for 2x 11g gelatine sachets
My son is now vegetarian so I have tried a couple of gelatine alternatives.
Agar agar - did not set
4x 6g Dr. Oetker Vege-Gel Gelatine Sachets with wine and sugar turned into a glutinous mass.
What should be used and in what quantity?

Hello,
I haven’t got a tested recipe but for the for the Oetker Vege-Gel I would use 2 sachets – stirred thoroughly into all the cold wine until it has dissolved, then add the sugar and lime juice. At this point I would remove the ladleful of liquid and then heat the rest until it’s very hot but not boiling. Then layer up the fruit and pour over the slightly cooled jelly mix and chill with the weights as you usually do. When it’s set, I’d hear the reserved mixture, cool and poor over as per the recipe.
For Agar Agar, stir 7g into the cold wine until dissolved then add the lime and sugar. Then again save a ladleful of this liquid for later.
Heat the larger quantity until boiling then turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes stirring frequently. Again, layer the fruit and pour the slightly cooled liquid over the fruit as the recipe. Again, heat and stir the remaining ladle of mixture the simmer for 5 minutes then cool and poor over the top of the terrine.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards
Lindsey
