Berry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan combine water, sugar, cornstarch, almond extract, brandy and lemon zest, stirring to dissolve completely.
• Add frozen berries and mix well.
• Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil.
• Lower heat and simmer gently approximately 20-30 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Let cool then refrigerate.

Steps:

• Put the blueberries in a pot over low to medium heat, do not add water, there will be enough liquid from the thawing of the berries. We like our sauce quite tart, if you like it sweeter, add more Splenda or sugar. Stir the Splenda into the berries, cook stirring until the berries are thawed and the Splenda dissolved; about 5 minutes.
• Whisk together the cold water and the cornstarch until smooth, add mixture to the berries and simmer and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes. Try to keep most of the berries whole as much as possible. The recipe can be doubled or more.
• Use as a topping for anything you wish and enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the berries, sugar, lemon zest and juice in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the berries burst and the liquid starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, forcing the berries through by pushing and scraping with a rubber spatula. The more you force through, the thicker the sauce will be (the pulp closest to the seeds contains the most pectin, which is a natural thickener). Let cool completely and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Put the cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, granulated sugar and whiskey in a large saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the blueberries and raspberries and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool, then transfer to a jar and keep in the fridge until cold and thick.

Steps:

• For the panna cotta: Heat the cream, vanilla extract and vanilla bean in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat until milk bubbles form at the sides of the pan, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl dissolve the gelatin in 3 tablespoons hot tap water. Stir until the gelatin completely dissolves, about 1 minute.
• Stir the sugar into the hot cream. Add the salt and the gelatin mixture to the cream as well. Whisk until the sugar dissolves, then whisk in the milk and stir again. Pour into the ramekins.
• Refrigerate the panna cotta until set, at least 4 hours. Stored in the refrigerator, the panna cotta keeps for several days.
• For the berry sauce: In a medium saucepot set over medium heat, add the berries, sugar, lemon juice and zest. Bring to a boil and cook until the berries burst and the liquid starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, forcing the berries through by pushing and scraping with a rubber spatula. The more you force through, the thicker the sauce will be (the pulp closest to the seeds contains the most pectin, which is a natural thickener). Let cool completely and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Spoon the sauce over the panna cotta and serve.

Brown the duck breast, skin side first, then flip over, reduce heat and cook other side, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the duck breasts to a platter, reserving the juices in the pan. Work in batches, if necessary.
• To make the sauce, add the balsamic vinegar and red wine to the pan and cook until reduced by half. Add the stock and reduce by half again, then add brown sugar, rosemary and berries and cook for 3 minutes. Strain into a bowl and whisk in the butter to finish. Place the duck breast on each plate and drizzle the sauce around.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a medium size pan and mix gently with a wooden spoon so the berries become thoroughly coated with sugar and cornflour.
• Set the pan on low and stir frequently until the juices start to run, then increase the heat slightly and simmer gently until the fruit has softened and the juices have thickened to make a sauce. Keep stirring often as the fruit cooks.
