Strawberries With Raspberry And Passion Fruit Sauce Recipes

STRAWBERRIES WITH RASPBERRY AND PASSION FRUIT SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring the berries to room temperature.
• Place the raspberries and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it's simmering.
• Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat to cool.
• While the syrup is cooling, halve the passion fruits and scoop out the seeds and juice.
• Use a blender or food processor to blend the passion fruit pulp and raspberries together for a few seconds. Strain through a fine, nylon sieve to remove seeds.
• Fold the strawberries into the sauce and serve with plain ladyfingers.

SUNNY'S EASY RASPBERRY AND STRAWBERRY DANISHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the fruit: Using a mortar and pestle, mini food processor or a sealed plastic bag and a mallet or rolling pin, crush the freeze-dried raspberries and strawberries together to a powder; some little pebbles are ok. Set aside 2 tablespoons for the icing and garnish.
• For the dough: Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish or 8- or 9-inch round pie pan with cooking spray.
• Unroll the crescent dough out on a sheet of parchment paper. If using dough with perforations, gently pinch the seams to keep them together. Leaving about a 1-inch border on one of the short sides, sprinkle with the remaining fruit mixture, followed by a layer of the granulated sugar and then the brown sugar. Use a box grater or rasp and grate the butter evenly over the top. Starting with the short edge with the filling on it, roll, tucking as you go, towards the short edge with the empty border. Cut into 8 equal rounds and place in the prepared dish. Bake until the tops are golden, 13 to 14 minutes.
• For the icing: While the danishes are baking, in a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon of the reserved fruit mixture, a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of preferred liquid. The icing should be thick like a glaze, but thin enough to pour. If needed, add more liquid.
• Drizzle the icing over the warm danishes. Transfer to plates and sprinkle with the remaining fruit mixture. Serve warm.

GIANT STRAWBERRIES WITH RASPBERRY DIP

Steps:

• Puree the raspberries in the blender. Pour the puree in a bowl. Blend in cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, milk, and almond extract by hand and mix well. Place the dip in a pretty bowl and chill for 2 hours. Serve the dip surrounded by the strawberries.

STRAWBERRIES IN RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the raspberries, salt, and vanilla. Puree until smooth. Pass the puree through a fine strainer into a bowl, pressing down on the pulp to get every bit of the juice. Taste as you stir in sugar, one teaspoon at a time.
• Set aside 6 whole strawberries for garnishes. Fold the raspberry sauce into the remaining berries.
• Serve right away or hold up to an hour. Spoon into bowls and enjoy at room temperature.

STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat raspberry jam over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until liquefied, about 3 minutes.
• Add frozen strawberries. Simmer until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. With a potato masher, lightly mash strawberries, leaving some large pieces. Cool completely.
• Transfer to an airtight container; refrigerate up to 1 week. (If sauce solidifies, warm in the microwave or over low heat.)

PASSION FRUIT MOUSSES WITH RASPBERRY SWIRL

Steps:

• In a blender purée the frozen raspberries with the syrup, strain the purée through a fine sieve into a saucepan, and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, boil it, stirring, for 1 minute, and chill it, covered partially, until it is cold.
• Halve the passion fruits over a sieve set over a bowl to catch any juices and scoop the seeds and pulp into the sieve. Scrape the seeds with a spatula until the juice and most of the pulp has been extracted and reserve 1/2 cup of the juice. In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over moderate heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved completely. Add 1/3 cup water and the sugar, heat the mixture, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, and in a metal bowl combine well the gelatin mixture, the reserved passion fruit juice, and the food coloring.
• In a bowl beat the cream until it holds soft peaks and reserve it. Chill the passion fruit mixture set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water, stirring until it is the consistency of raw egg white and fold in the reserved whipped cream. Spoon the passion fruit mousse and the raspberry swirl mixture decoratively into four 1 1/2-cup goblets, chill overnight, and garnish them with the raspberries.
