Raspberry-Beet Sauce image

When you tame the slight acidity of raspberries with the natural sweetness of beets, you come up with a flavor profile like none other. In addition to serving this sauce with Chocolate-Beet Cake (page 29), you could use it as the start of a trifle. Try one with crumbled Chocolate Meringues (page 209) and fresh berries and unsweetened whipped cream, maybe with a layer of Strawberry Sorbet (page 236). You could also serve this sauce with yogurt and granola.

Yield makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

18 ounces (510g) fresh raspberries
1/4 cup (55g) beet puree (see page 30)
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1 tablespoon (12.5g) sugar
3/4 teaspoon (2.5g) powdered apple pectin

Steps:

  • Put the raspberries in a food processor and process to a very smooth puree. Strain and measure out 1 cup (discard the solids).
  • Put the raspberry puree, beet puree, and vanilla pod and seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Mix the sugar and pectin together and stir into the puree. Bring back to a boil. Strain, cover with plastic, and chill for at least 2 hours before serving, or for up to 2 days.
