Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Desserts

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup granola -- ground in blender

1 tablespoon diet margarine

20 ounces crushed pineapple in juice -- canned

1/3 cup apple juice concentrate

2 envelopes unflavored Kosher gelatin (2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons)

4 cups nonfat cottage cheese

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

Apple glaze (see recipe)

3 pineapple rings in juice

15 strawberries (about 1 cup)

3/4 cup blueberries

 

Grind granola in blender. Combine granola and margarine. Lightly grease a 9-inch

springform pan. Press granola mixture on bottom and a half inch up the sides of

the pan. Place in refrigerator to chill.

 

Drain juice from pineapple. Place 1/2 cup pineapple juice and 1/3 cup apple

juice concentrate in a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over juice; let stand 2

minutes. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until gelatin is dissolved. (Do

not let it boil.)

 

Remove from heat. Add 1/2 of the gelatin mixture, 1/2 of the crushed pineapple,

and 1/2 of the cottage cheese to the blender. Cover, whirl until smooth,

scraping down the sides of the blender with a rubber scraper. Pour into a large

bowl. Repeat with remaining gelatin mixture, crushed pineapple, and cottage

cheese. Stir in vanilla and salt.

 

Pour into prepared crust-lined springform pan. Chill 2 hours or until set in

center. Prepare apple glaze. Press juice from pineapple rings between sheets of

paper toweling. Reserve three whole strawberries for center and cut remaining

strawberries in half and arrange around the edge of the cheesecake. Place

pineapple rings in center, whole strawberries in center of each ring, and fill

in with blueberries.

 

Meanwhile make the apple glaze. Spoon apple glaze over fruit. Chill 2 hours or

until glaze is set. Loosen edge with knife and remove sides of pan before

serving.

Hi, All! Pat's recipe calls for:

 

2 envelopes unflavored Kosher gelatin (2 1/2 to 3

tablespoons)

 

Just so y'all will be aware, not all Kosher gelatin is vegetarian. If

it doesn't give a list of ingredients (usually something like locust

bean gum, carageenan, adipic acid, etc), then it's actually

*gelatin*, usually made from fish bones.

 

Now, here's my question: My *FAVORITE* kosher gelatin

company (Emes) went out of business. They made the only truly

wonderful, unflavored, unsweetened veggie gelatin I have ever

found on the market. It was indistinguishable from regular

gelatin. I even used it to make marshmallows. I cried when I

heard they weren't in business anymore. Has anyone found a

good, plain, unsweetened, unflavored veggie gelatin anywhere?

Oh, besides Carmel. It is plain and unsweetened and

unflavored, but it far too sour to use in marshmallows. If anyone

out there can help, you would be doing more good than you

know. I have a recipe floating out in cyberspace for veggie

marshmallows, and every holiday I get all kinds of e-mail from

desparate vegans asking where to get Emes Kosher-Gel these

days.

gelatin?
