Weight Watchers Citrus Fruit Terrine recipe
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
2 white grapefruits
2 red grapefruits
2 tangerines
2 navel oranges
1 pink grapefruit
3 whole star anise
1/2 cup sugar
1 (1 1/2 teaspoon)packet unflavored gelatin
2 cinnamon sticks

Preparation
1. In a small saucepan, combine the star anise, sugar, cinnamon and 1-1/4 cups of water.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. Carefully remove the peel, pith and outer membranes from all the fruit.
4. Working over a sieve or strainer set over a large bowl, slice each segment of pulp from the membranes; reserve the juice.
5. Remove the seeds (being careful not to break the sections) and transfer to another bowl.
6. Strain the cooled syrup into a medium bowl, and sprinkle the gelatin over it; allow it to dissolve about 2 minutes.
7. Return to saucepan and cook over low heat until gelatin has fully dissolved; remove from heat and cool.
8. Coat a 4-1/2 x 9″ loaf pan with cooking spray and line with plastic wrap.
9. Allow 6″ overhang on all sides.
10. Fill the mold with the citrus segments. Press firmly on the fruit, tilt the pan and drain the excess juice.
11. Pour the gelatin mixture over the fruit, shaking gently, so that the mixture runs into the corners. Carefully fold the plastic over the top and chill until set (about 6 hours or overnight).
12. To serve: unfold the plastic, place platter on the top. Carefully invert both; remove the pan, holding plastic in place on platter.
13. Remove the plastic; slice and serve.
