Sparkling White-Sangria Salad

To many families, it isn't a holiday dinner without a gelatin salad. This rendition uses Riesling, but for a nonalcoholic version, substitute sparkling white grape juice. Make up to a day ahead and refrigerate. Dip the covered mold into a bowl of warm water for 5 seconds to make the salad easier to unmold.

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients

• 2  envelopes unflavored gelatin
• 1 1/2  cups  Riesling, divided
• 1 1/2  cups  white grape juice
• 1/4  cup  sugar
• 1 1/2  cups  orange sections
• 1  cup  seedless green grapes, halved
• 3/4  cup  fresh raspberries
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup wine, and let stand 5 minutes.

Combine 1 cup wine, juice, and sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; add gelatin mixture, stirring until the gelatin dissolves. Place pan in a large ice-filled bowl; let stand 20 minutes or until thick but not set, stirring occasionally. Whisk the gelatin mixture to form small bubbles; fold in orange sections, grapes, and raspberries. Spoon gelatin mixture into a 5-cup decorative mold coated with cooking spray. Cover and chill at least 4 hours. Place a plate upside down on top of mold; invert mold onto plate.
