Fresh Pineapple With Frozen Berry Sauce Recipes

BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, place berries, 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Cook for about 5 minutes, mixing occasionally until the liquid (which is the juice released from the fruit) thickens. At any point, you can add water if the sauce it too thick, or more sugar to make it sweeter.
• In a small cup, whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth, then add it to the saucepan. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes longer until it reaches the desired consistency. Sauce will thicken further as it cools.

SIMPLE BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the frozen fruit and the sugar in a small saucepan. Set the heat to low, stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened. This should take between 5-10 minutes.
• Once the berries are mostly thawed, increase the heat to medium. Mash them with a potato masher and stir constantly while the liquid simmers for about 2 minutes.
• Pour the warm mixture over vanilla ice cream or let cool and then serve with the dessert of your choice. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Enjoy!

KIDS CAN MAKE: POPOVERS WITH MIXED-BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with baking spray and set aside.
• Whisk the milk, flour, eggs, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined. Drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until combined, then let the batter stand for 5 minutes. Whisk in the baking powder, then divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (a scant 1/4 cup per muffin). Bake until the popovers are puffed and browned around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
• While the popovers are baking, bring the berries, 1/2 cup water and granulated sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries are juicy and soft and the liquid is reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• When the popovers are done, turn them out of the pan, using a small spatula if necessary. Arrange 2 popovers on each of six plates and garnish with a dollop of the sauce and a dusting of confectioners' sugar if using.

MIXED BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Pour water and orange juice into the mixture and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Raise the temperature to high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes more.
