Raspberry Toffee Sauce Recipes

RASPBERRY TOFFEE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the sugar in a heavy-based saucepan and add a little water to just moisten the sugar. Stir over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved, then bring the mixture to the boil over a low heat and boil until it is a pale golden colour.
• Place the frozen raspberries in a food processor and, with the motor still running, drizzle in the hot sugar mixture, and process until smooth.
• Add the lemon juice and process briefly, and strain if desired; and serve warm or cold.

RASPBERRY DESSERT SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved. (I just use a fork to mix-very easy.) Combine cornstarch mixture, raspberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the mixture, lightly mashing the raspberries as they begin to heat.
• Bring to a boil and let it boil for 3 full minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and-if desired for a richer flavor-stir in vanilla extract.
• Press the warm sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds, if desired. I use the back of a spoon to press the liquid through the strainer, held over a bowl. It takes a couple minutes to really squeeze it all out.
• Feel free to serve warm over warm desserts, but it should be cooled to really thicken up. Cool the sauce completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools, but the strained version is still liquid and perfect for drizzling.
• Cover and store for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

FRESH RASPBERRY SAUCE

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.

BAKED APPLES WITH RASPBERRY CREAM AND TOFFEE

Steps:

• APPLES: Core apples and peel top half. (Use melon baller to core). Place in baking dish, open end up, with approximately 1/2 inch of water surrounding. Sprinkle sugar inside and on top of the apple. Bake approximately 1 hour at 400F, until tender. Cool and serve warm or room temperature (if done in advance, refrigerate until an hour or more before serving). To serve, place room temperature (or hot) apple on plate and pour raspberry sauce over. Sprinkle with toffee pieces.
• RASPBERRY CREAM SAUCE: Puree fruit in blender and put through sieve to remove seeds. Combine with sugar, zest and cream. Thin with a little water or a fruity wine if necessary. Seal and refrigerate (for up to two days) until serving.
• TOFFEE: Preheat oven to 425F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle sugar in thin layer. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on baking sheet. When cool break into pieces and remove from sheet.
