Raspberry Orange Freeze Recipes

Steps:

• Inspect 7 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Add raspberries to a blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan.
• Cut off orange zest and finely chop. Add to the saucepan with the raspberries. Segment oranges and remove all the white pith, seeds, and fibrous membranes. Cut orange filets into small pieces; you should have 2 cups. Combine orange pieces with lemon juice in a bowl and mix. Add orange pieces and 1/4 cup sugar to the saucepan with the raspberries.
• Stir in pectin and slowly bring to a full rolling boil. Add remaining sugar and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil on high heat and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
• Remove from heat and ladle jam into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• For each freeze, in a blender combine 3 scoops orange sherbet and 1 scoop vanilla ice cream. Add 1/4 liter lemon lime soda or lemon lime seltzer and 4 ice cubes to the blender. Set blender top in place and blend on high setting until frothy and smooth. Pour into fountain or tall glass and garnish glass rim with a round of lime and a straw. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Steps:

• Pulse 1 cup raspberries and 1/2 cup each mint and sugar in a food processor. Let sit 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. For each drink, combine 1/2 ounce each of the puree and orange-flavored vodka in a glass; top with sparkling white wine and garnish with raspberries.

Steps:

• Place 1 thinly sliced orange and 1 pint raspberries (lightly crushed) in a pitcher. For still infused water, add 2 quarts of water. For sparkling water, add 1 quart of seltzer during prep and a second quart just before serving. Refrigerate 2 to 4 hours to allow the ingredients to infuse. Stir well and strain, discarding the solids. For serving, add fresh orange slices and raspberries for garnish and plenty of ice. The infused water will keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Pour the raspberries in a bowl and add the sugar and orange flavored liqueur. Stir lightly. Gently mash half the raspberries with a fork. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to sit for about 1 hour until softened and juicy.
• To serve, fill the bottom half of a stem glass with the raspberries and spoon a dollop of creme fraiche on top, and place a Cinnamon Elephant Ears cookie on top of the creme fraiche.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the sugar and kosher salt and pour it over a flat surface such as a wooden board or marble slab. Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto the sugar mixture.
• Combine 12 cup of the sugar and the cinnamon and spread it evenly on the puff pastry. This is not about sprinkling, it's about an even covering of sugar. With a rolling pin, lightly roll the dough until it's a 13-inch square and the sugar is pressed into the puff pastry on top and bottom. Fold the sides of the square toward the center so they go halfway to the middle. Fold them again so the two folds meet exactly at the middle of the dough. Then fold one half over the other half as though closing a book. You will have 6 layers. Slice the dough into 38-inch slices and place the slices, cut side up, on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Bake the cookies for 6 minutes, or until caramelized and brown on the bottom, then turn with a spatula and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, until caramelized on the other side. Transfer to a baking rack to cool.

Steps:

• Rinse four 1-pint plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly. Thoroughly crush 6 cups raspberries, 1 cup at a time, to measure exactly 3 cups; transfer to a large bowl. Stir in sugar and corn syrup; let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally., In a small bowl, mix liquid pectin and lemon juice. Add to raspberry mixture; stir constantly for 3 minutes to evenly distribute pectin. Stir in remaining whole raspberries., Immediately fill all containers to within 1/2 in. of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours or until partially set. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 12 months., Thaw frozen sauce in refrigerator before using.

Steps:

• Place a few small plates in the freezer. Stir berries, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon zest in a large, heavy stockpot. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar and mashing lightly with a potato masher. Skim foam from surface. Cook, stirring more frequently as jam thickens, until it has the consistency of very loose jelly, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Remove a plate from freezer; drop a spoonful of jam on it. Return to freezer for 1 to 2 minutes; nudge edge of jam with a finger. It should hold its shape. If jam is too thin and spreads, return it to a boil, testing every minute, until done.
• Strain about half of the jam; discard seeds. Return strained jam to pot; stir in remaining teaspoon zest. Return to a boil. Remove from heat. Spoon hot jam into hot sterilized jars; cover immediately with sterilized lids.
