Raspberry Rhubarb Swiss Roll Recipes

RASPBERRY RHUBARB CROSTATA

Steps:

• For the pastry, place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and toss carefully with your fingers to coat each cube of butter with the flour. Pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button just until the dough comes together. Turn onto a well-floured board, cut in half, and form into two disks. Wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. (Wrap the second dough well and freeze, if not using.)
• For the filling, place 3 tablespoons of water in small bowl, whisk in the cornstarch, and set aside. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rhubarb, raspberries, granulated sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until some of the juices are released. Stir in the cornstarch, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until cool.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Roll the pastry to an 11- to 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface and transfer to the prepared pan. Pile the raspberry rhubarb mixture onto the pastry, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all around. Fold the border up over the filling, pleating, if necessary, and pressing lightly. Brush the pastry with egg wash, sprinkle the pastry with turbinado sugar, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the pastry is browned and the filling is thickened. Cool for 30 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

RASPBERRY & RHUBARB SWISS ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 15x10-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line pan with parchment paper. Coat paper with cooking spray. Use a bench scraper to remove air bubbles.
• In a large bowl and using a handheld mixer, beat eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and a dash salt on medium for 2 minutes. Gently increase speed to medium-high; beat 10 minutes or until thick and light in color. This is crucial to reach the viscous stage needed to achieve a springy sponge, so go the whole 10 minutes, longer if necessary.
• Sift flour over egg mixture and gently fold in until no streaks of flour remain. Place 1/3 cup batter in a small bowl. ** Add enough food coloring to tint pink. Place pink batter in a small resealable plastic bag. Snip off one corner. Pipe small circles of batter in a random pattern over bottom of the prepared pan. The circles can all be relatively the same size, or all different sizes. Bake 2 minutes. Spread remaining batter over circles. Bake 8 minutes more or until cake is golden and springs back when lightly touched.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Invert cake onto prepared sheet. Carefully remove parchment from cake. Dust a kitchen towel liberally with powdered sugar. Use parchment to flip cake, pattern side down, onto towel. Roll up cake and towel, starting from a short side. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the filling, in a medium saucepan combine raspberries, rhubarb, and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Bring to boiling, stirring to break up berries. I use a potato masher to hasten the mashing. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until fruit is very well softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Place in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Press mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let fruit puree cool completely.
• In a medium bowl beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium until smooth. Slowly beat in cream until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and the vanilla. Beat until soft peaks form.
• Unroll cake. Spread the fruit puree. This layer will be rather thin. Spread cream mixture evenly over puree. Carefully reroll cake, using towel to help tightly roll. Place seam side down on a platter. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Before serving, dust liberally with powdered sugar and garnish with additional loose raspberries if desired.

RHUBARB RASPBERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine rhubarb, granulated sugar, and orange zest and juice in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
• In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Rub butter into flour mixture with your fingers until it is well incorporated and large crumbs form. Add oats and nuts and combine.
• Turn rhubarb into a 1 1/2-quart baking dish, scatter raspberries evenly over surface, and cover with crumb topping. Bake until topping is brown and crisp and juices are bubbling, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

RHUBARB RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine sugar and tapioca. Gently stir in rhubarb, raspberries and lemon juice. Let stand at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour to soften tapioca; stir gently several times. , Preheat oven to 375°. Line a pie plate with bottom crust. Pour filling into crust. Top with a lattice crust. Bake 45-55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
