Berry Compote With Crispy Won Ton Strips And Vanilla Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Make compote:
• Combine berries in a large bowl. Heat wine, crème de cassis, and sugar in a small heavy saucepan, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, then pour over berries. Toss gently and let stand 10 minutes.
• Fry won ton strips while compote is standing:
• Heat 1/2 inch oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat until a won ton strip sizzles when added. Fry strips in 2 or 3 batches, stirring gently with a slotted spoon, until golden, about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• Top compote with ice cream, then won ton strips.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over moderate heat. Stir in brown sugar and lemon juice until sugar is dissolved. Add berries and cook, tossing gently (try to keep most of them from breaking up), until berries are warm and juices begin to be released, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Dissolve cornstarch in brandy in a small bowl and set aside.
• Combine mixed berries, sugar, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture and boil until berries break down and compote thickens to the desired consistency, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Transfer to a greased 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in cherries and blueberries. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, walnuts, flour, almonds, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit mixture., Cook, covered, on high about 3 hours, until bubbly and thickened. If desired, serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
