Strawberries And Oranges In Syrup Recipes

STRAWBERRY SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large, lidded pot add all the ingredients. Over medium-high heat bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
• Place a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Pour in the strawberry mixture, and work the mixture through the strainer. Use a wooden spoon to press the strawberries to release their liquid. Place strawberry solids in a container to use later (perhaps freezer jam).
• Return the strawberry liquid back to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low boil. Continue to boil, with the lid off, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency.
• Let the syrup cool to room temperature, about 1-2 hours (it will thicken even more as it cools). Finally, pour the syrup in sterilized jars or bottles.

STRAWBERRY SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small dish, combine 2 tablespoons water with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sucanat (or sugar), and diced strawberries and bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Add the water-cornstarch mixture and stir to combine. The sauce will thicken and the strawberries will begin smelling like warm jelly. Turn off heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly before serving.
• If you prefer a smooth syrup, carefully pour the cooled strawberry sauce in a blender and process until smooth, slowly adding an additional ¼ cup of water while blending.
• You could also blend the syrup directly in the saucepan with an immersion blender.
• Serve the warm strawberry syrup over pancakes.
• Refrigerate the leftover syrup in a lidded jar for one to two weeks. Remove the syrup from the fridge prior to serving.

STRAWBERRIES AND ORANGES IN SYRUP

STRAWBERRY ORANGE SALAD WITH CARDAMOM SYRUP

Steps:

• To prepare the syrup: Lightly crush the cardamom pods with a mortar and pestle or the back of a knife. Not too small as they will be strained from the syrup.
• Place water, sugar and cardamom in a small saucepan. Heat on medium for 2 or 3 minutes until the sugar is melted and the cardamom begins to infuse the simple syrup. You should not have any bubbling and the syrup should be translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
• To prepare the salad: Wash and hull the strawberries. Halve or quarter the berries and place in bowl.
• Take the oranges and trim the tops so they will sit nicely on your cutting board. Trim down the side of the orange with a knife to remove the peel and all visible pith (white part. You are trying to keep as much of the orange flesh on the fruit. Split the orange in half and trim out white in the center. Cut orange halves into 4 to 6 segments depending on the size of the fruit. Place oranges in the bowl with the strawberries.
• Pour the syrup over the fruit salad and stir.
• Chill for a minimum of 30 minutes. If you are chilling longer, periodically mix to make sure all the fruit is in good contact with the syrup.
• Serve.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKES WITH VANILLA-ORANGE SYRUP

Steps:

• Make cake:
• Preheat oven to 350°F and butter an 8- by 2-inch square metal baking pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment or wax paper, then butter paper. Dust with flour, knocking out excess.
• Whisk together yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl until combined well. Whisk in flour and salt (batter will be thick).
• Beat whites with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks.
• Stir about one third of whites into batter to lighten, then fold in remaining whites in 2 more batches, gently but thoroughly.
• Transfer batter to baking pan, spreading evenly, and bake in middle of oven until pale golden and a tester comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool cake completely in pan on a rack (cake will shrink from sides of pan). When cool, run a sharp knife around side of cake if necessary and invert onto rack, then remove paper.
• Make strawberries in syrup:
• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with tip of sharp knife into a small saucepan, then add pod. Add sugar, water, zest, and juice. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and boil 1 minute.
• Transfer to a bowl and chill 30 minutes. Pour syrup through a fine sieve into another bowl and discard solids. Gently stir in strawberries and let stand 15 minutes.
• Make cream:
• Beat together cream, sugar, and sour cream until mixture just holds stiff peaks.
• Assemble shortcakes:
• Cut 4 rounds from cake with cookie cutter.
• Generously brush both sides of each round with syrup from strawberry mixture and arrange, darker sides up, on plates. Spoon strawberries onto rounds and let stand 5 minutes to allow more syrup to soak into cake. Top rounds with dollops of cream and drizzle with remaining syrup.

NECTARINES, STRAWBERRIES AND MELON IN ORANGE-HONEY SPICED SYRUP

Simmer until liquid is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in reserved orange peel. Cool syrup. Strain into large bowl; discard solids. (Can be made 1 day ahead; chill.)
• Using melon baller, scoop out enough fruit from melon to equal 4 cups. Combine melon balls, nectarines and strawberries in large bowl. Add syrup; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours and up to 8 hours.
• Ladle fruit mixture into bowls. Garnish with orange peel strips, if desired.

STRAWBERRIES IN SPICED SYRUP

15 MINUTE STRAWBERRY SYRUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Start with three cups of ripe strawberries. Chop off the tops, being very careful not to allow any stems, leaves, or other debris to stick to the fruit.
• Give the berries a very good rinse, and pop them in the small pot with the sugar, water, and lemon juice to start a simple syrup. Sliced strawberries will work well, too.
• Turn on the heat to medium-high and mash the berries as they start to cook.
• Once it reaches a boil, let the syrup boil for five to six minutes.
• While it's boiling, make the slurry of cornstarch and water.
• After the syrup has boiled for five to six minutes and the sugar melts/dissolves, add the cornstarch mix and let it boil another minute.
• The syrup should thicken up by this point. If it has not, let it boil a few more minutes.
• If you think it's still not thick enough, add more slurry and repeat the process. Remember, it doesn't need to be totally thick at this point, it will continue to thicken as it cools.
• You should let it cool to room temperature before serving.
