Marinated Fresh Berries Recipes

Steps:

• Toss 1 quart sliced strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar in a bowl; let macerate 10 minutes. Put 5 egg yolks, 1 egg white, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon marsala wine, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and whisk vigorously over medium to medium-high heat until thick and creamy, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately pour over the berries and serve with biscotti.

Steps:

• Place the strawberries in a bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to completely dissolve the sugar.
• Pour the marinade over the berries and gently toss to coat.
• Divide the biscotti pieces into 4 bowls. Spoon the berries and some of the marinade over each and top with a dollop of marscarpone. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, citrus zests, and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer very gently to make a loose syrup, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the citrus juices. Combine the berries in a bowl. Strain the warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Boil the vinegar, honey and mint sprig in a small saucepan until syrupy, about 7 minutes. Cool the syrup slightly, then drizzle over strawberries and/or blackberries and ricotta.

Steps:

• Place strawberries in a bowl. Drizzle vinegar over strawberries, and sprinkle with sugar. Stir gently to combine. Cover, and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour but not more than 4 hours. Just before serving, grind pepper over berries.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, citrus zests, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the citrus juices and vanilla.
• Combine the berries in a bowl. Pour the warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Serve marinated berries over a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt.

Steps:

• Cut fresh fruit into bite sized pieces (I use melon, peaches, apples, plums, grapes, etc).
• Mix the orange juice and Splenda together until the Splenda is well dissolved.
• Pour the orange juice mixture over the fruit, cover and chill for several hours.
• This is great for fruit that isn't quite as sweet as you like it, and is very refreshing for an addition to any meal.
