Best Stewed Rhubarb And Raspberries With A Meringue Lattice Crust Recipes

STEWED RHUBARB

Steps:

• Place the rhubarb, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and rhubarb is almost tender, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the rhubarb from the liquid, and transfer to a medium bowl; set aside.
• Raise heat to medium, and continue simmering liquid until thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer reduced liquid to a small bowl to cool. Add the cooled thickened liquid to the reserved cooked rhubarb, and stir to combine.

RITA'S RASPBERRY RHUBARB LATTICE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of dough for bottom crust. Fit into an 11-inch pie plate. Trim pastry using scissors or a sharp paring knife, and chill. Keep remaining half of dough, which will be used to make the lattice, refrigerated and wrapped in plastic.
• Combine rhubarb and raspberries in a large bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Toss gently so as not to break raspberries. Spoon into pie shell, and dot with butter. Refrigerate while preparing lattice top.
• In a small bowl, combine egg and heavy cream, whisking lightly; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining piece of dough for lattice, and cut it into 1-inch strips. Weave strips together over filling, and place an extra strip or two along the edge, where the bottom crust joins the lattice top; press this strip with tines of a fork to seal well. Brush lattice and all pastry edges with egg glaze, sprinkle top with sugar, and place pie on a parchment paper's lined baking sheet.
• Bake until pastry is golden brown and juices in center of pie are bubbling, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.

STEWED RHUBARB & RED BERRIES

Steps:

• Place the rhubarb in a large saucepan and add the sugar, salt, and 2/3 cup water.

Remove from the heat, stir in the strawberries, raspberries, lemon juice, orange juice, and orange liqueur, if using, and allow to cool. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

STEWED RHUBARB AND RASPBERRIES WITH A MERINGUE LATTICE CRUST

Steps:

• Combine the rhubarb, raspberries, sugar, and flour in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the juices thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the rhubarb is soft. Transfer to a 4-cup shallow ovenproof baking dish and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Make the meringue.

MERINGUE CUPCAKES WITH STEWED RHUBARB AND RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line every other cup of two nonstick 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners, and set aside. Combine the egg whites, salt, vinegar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until frothy. Add the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating a full 2 minutes after each addition, making sure the sugar has completely dissolved. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down sides of bowl after each addition of sugar so that undissolved sugar does not build up. Egg whites should form glossy firm peaks.
• Using a rubber spatula, spoon meringue equally into 12 paper cups so meringue is about 2 inches above rims. Clean up edges so no meringue is touching muffin tins. Do not smooth meringue or worry about peaks and odd shapes. Place in the oven, and bake until very light brown and completely dry on the outside but still soft in the middle, about 2 1/2 hours. If using one oven, rotate tins after 1 1/2 hours of baking. Remove from oven, remove cupcakes from tins, and peel off cupcake liners. Let cool.
• Combine stewed rhubarb with raspberries. Combine creme fraiche and heavy cream; whip to soft peaks. Using a serrated knife, gently slice tops off cupcakes; do not worry if they crack. Spoon whipped creme fraiche into the center of each cupcake, and cover with stewed fruit. Cover with top of cupcake.
