You could do just about anything with this, and it would still taste great. Use any berries you like, or a combination. Use different liqueurs to jazz up up : cognac, brandy, amaretto, Frangelico, etc. You can do an uncooked version of this by throwing all the ingredients into the blender and then it's ready to go. I like to do that with fresh strawberries in the summer. If you want this one smooth, puree in a blender after. And, if you want the sauce thicker, throw in a little cornstarch, stir and add until you have the consistency you want.
This is great with just about anything, ice cream, chocolate torte, brownies, meringues..etc.
2 cups quartered hulled strawberries (about 12 ounces)
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons sugar
1 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
2 tablespoons liqueur (optional)
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off burner; add liqueur and cool. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteSince you blog about Celiac-related issues, I'd like to send you a complimentary box of my company's new Jigsaw Bars to test out. Jigsaw Bars contain NO gluten, casein, soy protein, trans-fats, MSG, high fructose corn syrup, or toxic sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame. Low-glycemic Jigsaw Bars are high in absorbable, system-gentle whey and rice proteins, heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, immune-system boosting nutrients, essential vitamins—and low in carbohydrates. (More ingredient info, including user reviews, at www.JigsawBars.com.)
Just reply with your mailing address and I'll get them in the mail ASAP.
All I ask in return is that you write a candid review of the Jigsaw Bars on your blog. If you don't like the product, that's ok. Not everyone has the same taste. But a review from you would help others looking for healthy gluten-free snacks become aware of Jigsaw Bars.
Btw, I found your blog through the Celiac blog aggregator. Mike Eberhart left a comment on another online review posted about Jigsaw Bars here:

Sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOne of my book owners wrote to tell me how they really loved a berry coulis with the chocolate-buckwheat torte. I too really love that type of thing with any dark/semi-sweet chocolate dessert. mmmmmm.
Mike - I can hardly wait for fresh strawberries to make it, and I will have to check out more of your recipes...buckwheat in there sounds so interesting! Gotta love all the new things this diet introduces us to!
