Chambord Melba Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Thaw raspberries.
• Place in medium saucepan. Cover and gently simmer 15 minutes. Put through a fine strainer into a glass measuring cup, pressing gently to extract as much juice as possible. Discard seeds and pulp.
• Add water to juice, if necessary to make 2/3 cup. Return juice to clean pan. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer and stir until jelly melts, sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth.
• Pour into an airtight jar. Cool. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• **For a thicker sauce, either add more jelly or do not dilute juice from raspberries.
• **If sauce becomes too thick, add water, bring to a boil and stir until smooth.

Steps:

• Put the water, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla pod into a wide saucepan and heat gently to dissolve the sugar. Bring the pan to the boil and let it bubble away for about 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to a fast simmer.
• Cut the peaches in half, and if the stones come out easily then remove them, if not then you can get them out later. Poach the peach halves in the sugar syrup for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side depending on the ripeness of the fruit. Test the cut side with the sharp point of a knife to see if they are soft, and then remove them to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• When all the peaches are poached, peel off their skins and let them cool (then you can remove any remaining stones). If you are making them a day in advance then let the poaching syrup cool and then pour into a dish with the peaches. Otherwise just bag up the syrup and freeze it for the next time you poach peaches.
• To make the raspberry sauce, liquidize the raspberries, confectioners' sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or a food processor. Sieve to remove the pits and pour the puree into a jug.
• To assemble the Peach Melba, allow 2 peach halves per person and sit them on each plate alongside a scoop or 2 of ice cream. Spoon the raspberry sauce over each.

Steps:

• Place the package of raspberries, the granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and Framboise into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Chill.

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the salmon fillet. Set the skin aside. Cut the skinless fillet into four pieces of equal size. Set aside.
• Melt one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan and add the shallots, carrots and garlic. Cook briefly, stirring. Add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf and reserved salmon skin. Cook, stirring, about three minutes and sprinkle with arrowroot. Stir to blend and add the wine. Bring to the simmer and cook over low heat about 15 minutes.
• Line a bowl with a sieve and pour the sauce into the sieve. Press with a spatula or the back of a large spoon to extract as much liquid as possible from the solids. There should be about three-quarters of a cup. Discard the solids.
• Heat one tablespoon of butter in a skillet, preferably of the nonstick variety, large enough to hold the salmon pieces in one layer. Sprinkle the salmon pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the skillet. Cook two to three minutes (the cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish pieces) and turn. Cook two to three minutes on the second side. Sprinkle with the marc de bourgogne and pour the strained red-wine sauce over the fish. Turn the pieces in the sauce and transfer the pieces to a warm platter. Swirl the remaining two tablespoons of butter into the sauce and pour it over the fish.

Steps:

• Whisk together cream cheese, 3 tablespoons Chambord and raspberry jam until very smooth. In another bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until combined. Spoon into small glasses; refrigerate. Just before serving, drizzle remaining Chambord over cream mixture. Serve with fresh fruit.

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, water, and balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until sugar dissolves and berries collapse, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and strain into a bowl. Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Combine 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and split vanilla bean in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Place peach halves with cut sides up in the syrup and simmer until tender, 5 to 8 minutes per side, basting with the syrup occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool in the syrup. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 4 hours.
• Remove peach skins and serve each peach half on top of a scoop of ice cream in a bowl. Spoon the raspberry sauce over the top. Garnish with toasted, slivered almonds.

Steps:

• Combine the raspberries, currant jelly, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Stir over moderate heat until boiling. Then simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the Chambord and lemon juice. Strain and chill before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepot; add scallions, garlic and ginger, and cook for 20 seconds; do not brown.
• Add chicken stock, Chambord, vinegar, soy sauce, honey and pepper, and cook over low heat for two minutes.
• Stir in cornstarch to thicken and cook for an additional two minutes.
• Strain through fine mesh strainer if desired.

Steps:

• Combine raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until raspberries break down, sugar dissolves, and sauce is heated through, 3 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and press sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove seeds. Cool to room temperature, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 45 minutes.
