  5. Cool in the refrigerator.

The jelly

  1. In a saucepan, heat the ice cider with the salt.
  2. Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes.
  3. Squeeze them dry, then stir them into the hot liquid with a spatula.
  4. Pour the still-warm liquid into a container and set aside in the fridge for 1 hour to allow the jelly to set.
  5. Using a spoon, turn the jelly into small pieces.
  6. On each bread crouton, place a small amount of foie gras parfait and a little ice cider jelly. Enjoy.
