Raspberry Gratins Recipes

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Toss the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the raspberry liqueur if desired. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the salt and 1/2 cup of the sugar, until just blended. Sift the flour into the bowl, whisking it into the mixture just blended.
• Butter 6 individual gratin dishes. Divide the raspberries among them. Divide the egg mixture among the dishes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbs. sugar. Place on cookie sheet in the oven. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the top has just begun to harden and the center is still creamy. Pass under the broiler for a moment to brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an eight-inch gratin dish with one-half tablespoon of the butter. Spread the raspberries in the dish.
• Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until creamy and thick. Beat in the remaining butter, then beat in the orange juice and flour and stir in the cream.
• Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff but not dry. Fold into the egg yolk mixture and spread over the raspberrries. Place in the oven and bake about 30 minutes, until browned.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 15 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, then serve.

Steps:

• Using electric mixer, beat sugar, yolks, 4 tablespoons framboise, and 2 tablespoons cream in large metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water) and continue beating until mixture is thick and billowy and instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 160°F, about 9 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Continue beating until mixture is cool, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, about 5 minutes. Beat remaining 2 tablespoons framboise and 1 1/4 cups cream in medium bowl until peaks form. Fold cream into yolk mixture in 2 additions. (Sabayon can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Preheat broiler. Divide raspberries equally among eight 1 1/4-cup custard cups or shallow ramekins. Top raspberries with sabayon. Broil until sabayon is lightly browned, watching carefully to avoid burning, about 2 minutes. Serve warm.
• Sold at some liquor stores and specialty foods stores. If unavailable, use raspberry liqueur instead.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Arrange raspberries and figs in 10-inch-diameter broilerproof baking dish. Stir sour cream until smooth; spoon evenly over fruit. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Broil close to heat source until brown sugar melts and bubbles, about 4 minutes. Garnish with mint and serve warm.
