Preparation

Let the gelatin soak in cold water. Warm a little Muscat wine and melt the gelatin in it. Heat the remaining Muscat wine with 50g of sugar making sure the sugar is well dissolved. Incorporate the gelatin mixture and whisk it all together well. Pour the mixture into four small moulds and then put them in the fridge. Separately, prepare a salad with grapes, finely chopped figs, mint and lemongrass. Sprinkle with sugar and drizzle with more wine. Remove the jellies from the refrigerator, turn them out onto four plates and serve with fruit salad.

Tips
