Around here, we love all things Jello—including this terrine dessert made with unflavored gelatin and fresh nectarines and raspberries. A "terrine" is nothing more than a mixture (in this case Jello, fruit and zero calorie sweetener) that is prepared in advance and then chilled in its pan and usually served in slices. It's really just a simple Jello salad made in a loaf pan instead of a mold.
Easy to make, this simple refrigerated dessert is low in calories and perfect for those hot summer days when nectarines and raspberries are at their juiciest.

How to Make Raspberry Nectarine Jello Terrine
Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Step 2: In a medium saucepan over HIGH heat, bring the sweetener, 1-½ cups water and a pinch of salt to a boil, occasionally stirring until sweetener dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in lemon juice. Pour 1 cup of sweetened lemon mixture into a small bowl (affiliate link) and sprinkle gelatin over the top. Let stand until gelatin softens (blooms), about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Over medium heat, reheat remaining lemon mixture in saucepan just until hot, about 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in gelatin mixture just until dissolved.
Step 4: Add nectarines and raspberries to 4 x 8-inch loaf pan and gently stir to combine.

Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 4 hours.
Step 6: To unmold, run a thin knife around the edge of terrine to loosen from sides. Dip the bottom of the loaf pan in hot water for about 5 seconds. Invert loaf pan onto serving platter, gently shaking pan as needed until it releases.

Recipe Notes, Variations & Substitutions
This chilled dessert can be made up to 2 days ahead. Just leave covered in the loaf pan (affiliate link) in refrigerator until it's ready to be served.
Any fresh berries can be substituted for the raspberries. I made this version with white nectarines, but you could swap in yellow nectarines if you prefer. Though I haven't tried it, I think this would be good with fresh white or yellow peaches too.
No unflavored gelatin? Although this recipe uses unflavored gelatin, you could always substitute your favorite flavor of sugar free jello instead.
