Blackberry Gratin Recipes

BLACKBERRY GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler (griller).
• In a large bowl, mix together the berries and 1/4 of the brown sugar.
• Pour into a flameproof shallow baking dish or 9-inch pie dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the cream with 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar until soft peaks form.
• Whisk in the sour cream.
• Place dollops of the cream mixture on top of the berries, in mounds.
• Sprinkle evenly with the remaining 3 tablespoons brown sugar.
• Slip under the broiler about 2 inches from the heat source and broil (grill) until the sugar melts, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the broiler and serve immediately.

BERRY SABAYON GRATINEE

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds with the back side of a pairing knife. Add vanilla bean seeds to the egg yolk mixture and whisk to combine. Add wine, a little at a time, and whisk to combine. Add a pinch of salt and whisk again.
• Set bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk vigorously and constantly until the sauce is thick and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Place 1/2 cup berries in the bottom of 6 shallow individual gratin dishes or ovenproof bowls. Spoon an even amount of the sabayon over each dish. Sprinkle the remaining berries evenly over the dishes. Place the dishes on a sheet pan and place on the top shelf of the oven under the broiler. Broil until the sabayon is golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
