Time 20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 cups assorted fresh berries

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a small bowl, set aside. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir a small amount into eggs; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 1/2 minutes or until mixture reaches 160 degrees.
  • Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and vanilla. Set saucepan in ice and stir mixture for 5 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • Serve over berries -- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (whatever mix of berries you prefer).
  • Yield: About 2 cups of sauce. Recipe did not state how much berries to use, so I but an estimated amount in the recipe.
  • I think it would be really good with angel food cake or shortcake.

FRIED FRUIT WITH BAY LEAF SAUCE



Fried Fruit With Bay Leaf Sauce image

This is a wonderful dessert. A combination of fried summer berries (red currants, purple grapes) and sage leaves dipped into a tasty bay leaf sauce. The bay leaf sauce has a wonderful taste of vanilla and herbal flavors. Together with the fruity flavors of the still warm berries and the wonderful taste of fried sage this makes a summerly dessert.

Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 cup whipped cream
6 fresh bay leaves
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1/3 cup milk
1 pinch nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 -2 cup red currants
1 -2 cup purple grapes
10 fresh sage leaves
oil (for deep frying)
sugar

Steps:

  • Sauce (can be prepared in advance): mix all ingredients in a small pot. Heat on medium high heat and stir all the time. The mixture will thicken during heating to a temperature of about 175 F (80 C). It is important that during heating the mixture will constantly be stirred. Do not let the sauce boil. The sauce has the right conistency, if it builds a thick film on the backside of a tablespoon.
  • Remove sauce from heat and stir for 2 minutes. Set aside and let cool down completely.
  • Prepare berries: Wash small panicles of red currant and pat dry with paper towels. Wash grapes and cut into clusters of 3-5 berries.
  • In a suited pot or deep fryer heat about 2 inches high oil for frying.
  • Combine flour, sugar, ground nutmeg and ground cinnamon.
  • Mix egg, milk and 1 tablespoon oil. Add to flour mixture and beat until smooth.
  • Dip berries and sage leaves into batter.
  • Fry berries in hot oil for about 1 minute or until batter is light golden brown. Fry sage leaves until batter is light golden brown and puffed up.
  • Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
  • While still warm sprinkle the fired red currant berries and the sage leaves slightly with some sugar.
  • Serve berries and sage leaves still warm with the cold bay leaf sauce.
  • NOTE: You can replace the berries in this recipe against others of your choice, but use fresh ones. They should not be to sweet. Or choose a sweet and a more tart one.
  • NOTE: I used fresh bay leaves. If you have no fresh leaves, you can use dried ones, but you may have to use more leaves. Try the sauce during heating and add more leaves to your taste. The sauce should have a delicate vanilla taste and additional notes.
