nonartificially flavored gelatinNo. For any flavor, click on "more info" and then on "ingredients and usage." Several particularly struck me. "Brandy oil" is impossible. There's no oil in brandy to separate out. "Artificial Flavoring, Propylene Glycol. Fat...
Raspberry Sauce
2 cups raspberries; fresh or frozen 1/4 cup Sugar 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange lique
Puree raspberries in food processor or blender. Strain into medium bowl to remove seeds. Stir in sugar and Grand Marnier until well chilled, about 1 hour.
REC: Chocolate Ginger LycheesVery yummy. The lychees look a lot like very pale penis tips, so I felt a little weird stuffing ginger inside of them, but it was all worth it. This is a great dessert...
NOTE: Fold the foil against itself 3 times and lay it lengthwise in the loaf dish, letting long ends hang out. Let the Marquise sit out for a half hour or more, then use the long foil ends as lifters.
