Best Rosy Rosé Berries Strawberries And Raspberries In Wine Recipes

ROSY ROSé BERRIES: STRAWBERRIES AND RASPBERRIES IN WINE

Steps:

• Pour the bottle of wine into a large bowl - add the sugar, and stir to dissolve.
• Add the berries and mix thoroughly - but gently as not to bruise them or break them.
• Cover and store in the fridge for 12 to 48 hours.
• When you are ready to serve them, spoon the berries into a large wine glass or a parfait/pudding glass or bowl.
• Pour the sugared wine over the top and serve straight away, with whipped cream or creme fraiche. Ice cream is also good with this dessert.
• These berries can also be served with shortbreads or cake - and are amazing in trifles!

ROSE SANGRIA

Steps:

• Combine the rose, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, sugar, Grand Marnier, Cognac, 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of ice in a large glass pitcher. Stir in the raspberries, strawberries, and plums, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• When ready to serve, fill wine goblets or highball glasses halfway with ice. Pour the sangria over the ice, spooning some of the macerated fruit into each glass. Serve ice cold.

FRANGIPANE TART WITH STRAWBERRIES AND RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Pate Brisee: In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding more ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.
• Preparation: Roll out the dough 1/8- inch thick on a lightly floured surface, fit it into an 11-by 8-inch rectangular or 10-or 11-inch round tart pan with a removable fluted rim, and chill the shell while making the frangipane.
• In a small bowl cream together the butter and the sugar and beat in the egg, the almonds, the almond extract, the Amaretto, and the flour. Spread the frangipane evenly on the bottom of the shell and bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 375°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the shell is pale golden. (If the frangipane begins to turn too brown, cover the tart loosely with a piece of foil.) Let the tart cool. Cut the strawberries lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices, arrange the slices, overlapping, decoratively with the raspberries in rows on the frangipane, and brush them gently with the jam.

SUMMER BERRIES ON A CLOUD OF CHANTILLY CREAM

Steps:

• In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, beat whipping cream until it begins to thicken.
• Add the liqueur, icing sugar, and extract, whipping constantly until soft peaks form. Do not over-beat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Right before serving, alternately layer the fresh berries with the Chantilly cream, and the cake cubes (if using) in dessert glasses or a trifle dish.
• Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a berry.
• Garnish with your choice of chocolate or lemon curls, sliced almonds or pink rose petals, as desired.
