Berries With Buttermilk And Honey Recipes

BERRIES AND BUTTERMILK PUDDINGS

Steps:

• Make buttermilk puddings:
• Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl and let soften 1 minute.
• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a small heavy saucepan and add pod. Add remaining 3/4 cup milk and sugar and bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture to hot milk mixture, stirring until dissolved. Quick- chill in an ice bath, stirring occasionally, until cold but not thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in buttermilk, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large glass measure, discarding solids. Pour into bowls and chill until set, at least 8 hours.
• Make sauce:
• Bring wine, water, sugar, zests, and bay leaf to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then boil until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Add strawberries and simmer 5 minutes. Discard zests and bay leaf, then purée strawberry mixture in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Force through clean fine-mesh sieve and discard solids.
• Chill sauce, stirring occasionally, until cold, about 1 hour.
• To serve:
• Spoon sauce over puddings and top with remaining berries.

BERRY SCONES WITH ORANGE HONEY BUTTER

Steps:

• You can do this the old fashioned way and add ingredients to a mason jar, cover with the lid and shake vigorously for 10 minutes, or you can use the food processor.
• In a food processor bowl add all the ingredients and turn on high. The liquid will slosh, whip and then separate after about 4 minutes. When the mixture separates, (these are the butter solids and buttermilk), stop processing and strain out the buttermilk - there will be just under a cup. Reserve the buttermilk to make the scones. Strain out the butter and squeeze dry. Work the butter a couple of times to bring it together to form a nice ball. Refrigerate butter until ready to use.
• For the scones:
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a food processor bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until you have the texture of coarse bread crumbs. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, then add 3/4 cup of buttermilk and stir to combine. As it comes together add berries and fold dough to incorporate berries but not break them up too much.
• Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Using a pastry brush, paint the tops of each scone lightly with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until golden brown, and nice and puffy, about 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.
• Serve warm with the Orange Honey Butter.

HONEY BUTTERMILK PAVLOVA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff, about 3 minutes. Add the granulated sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. The egg whites should look very thick and hold a soft peak. Turn the mixer off and add the buttermilk, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of the honey and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla. Mix on low just to combine.
• Dollop the egg white mixture onto the center of the prepared baking sheet. Pushing outwards with a small offset spatula, spread the mixture into a circle about 9 inches in diameter. Bake until set and slightly golden, about 1 hour. Cracking on the outside of the pavlova is normal. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing, about 2 hours
• Meanwhile, pour the heavy cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add the confectioners' sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip on high until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Chill until ready to serve.
• Add the mango, pineapple, blueberries and kiwis to a mixing bowl and toss gently to combine.
• Carefully lift the pavlova from the parchment and place on a serving platter. Dollop the whipped cream onto the center. Use a small offset spatula to spread the cream outwards, leaving a slight rim of exposed pavlova on all sides. Top the cream with a mound of fresh fruit. Drizzle the pavlova with the remaining 1 tablespoon honey and serve immediately.
