Turbinado Crusted Berries

"Very easy recipe. Strawberries coated in a tasty, sweet turbinado suage coating. This is great served with the goat cheese fondue, but I actually prefer the berries alone. Experiment and see how you like your berries best! Cook and prep are estimates."

directions

  • Directions for Turbinado Crusted Strawberries:

  • Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper. Place egg white in a small bowl.
  • Place Turbinado sugar in another bowl. Using a pastry brush, lightly paint each strawberry with the egg white (carefully so you don't bruise the fruit).
  • Roll each strawberry in the sugar, coating evenly.
  • Place coated strawberries on the prepared sheet pan; reserve.
  • Directions for Sour Cream and Goat Cheese Fondue:

  • Place sour cream and goat cheese in blender, reserve.
  • Place port in non-reactive saucepan over medium heat; cook to reduce by 90% - stand back, as the alcohol will ignite before it burns off.
  • Add the heavy cram and continue to cook until reduce by 60%.
  • Add the hot cream and port to the blender and immediately pulse until everything is homogenized.
  • Season with salt and lemon juice.
  • Transfer to main Marie, reserve, keeping warm. Yield: 2 cups
  • To serve:

  • Place some of the warm fondue in the center of each slightly warmed dinner plate; place two crusted strawberries on the fondue, side by side.

  1. The presentation alone deserves extra stars. This is a very elegant dessert and would be terrific for a romantic dinner. The goat cheese fondue is a tiny bit strong, but does have a terrific flavor. And the sugar coated strawberries are sublime. I do think though that this recipe only serves 4 realistically. After the reduction of the wine & cream, I ended up with less than a cup of sauce. Thanks for sharing your recipe Birdy Baker!

Hi Everyone! I have just changed my image here on 'zaar. The big bird in the pic is none other than me, BirdyBaker. It was from Halloween 04. I made the costume myself and it was so much fun!. I am a highschool student and I love photography,painting crafts and everything else artistic. I LOVE to write, anything, from essays to fiction to poetry. It's so much fun! I also am very interested in Asian culture and want to work in Japan someday. I have a passion for cooking and try to cook as much as I can, trying to make a different dish each time. I am just crazy over my 3 birds, George Arthur, Bailey and Jazzy, hence the name "BirdyBaker"...lol
