ICED RASPBERRY LEMON SYLLABUB WITH PRALINE

Steps:

• Coat an 11-by-17-inch baking pan lightly with canola oil; set aside. To make the praline, put sugar in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved, without boiling. Stop stirring; raise the heat. Boil syrup, tilting and swirling pan, until it turns caramel brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat, and quickly stir in the nuts. Pour onto prepared baking sheet; set aside to cool. When completely cool, cut the praline into small pieces. Set aside. Praline may be made up to 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
• To make the syllabub, place half the berries into a medium bowl, and crush them gently against the side of the bowl with the back of a spoon to release their juices. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 tablespoons brandy. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine lemon juice, sherry, and remaining 1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. With machine on low, trickle in cream. Whisk just until cream holds its shape. Remove bowl from mixer; gently fold in the macerated and remaining fresh berries.
• Sprinkle the praline in the bottom of each glass. Spoon syllabub into glasses. Transfer the glasses to the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight, until frozen and frosty. Sprinkle each with praline and candied lemon zest. Serve immediately.

RASPBERRY SYRUP

Steps:

• Blend 1½ cups raspberries with 1 cup water in a blender until puréed, about 45 seconds.
• Add purée to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until mixture begins to boil. Immediately reduce heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Rinse out blender jar.
• Strain purée through a tea strainer or chinois (cheesecloth optional) into a heatsafe liquid measuring cup, stirring and pressing on solids, until you have 1 cup raspberry juice. Discard any excess. Transfer raspberry juice to blender, add 2 cups granulated sugar, and blend until well mixed and sugar is completely dissolved, about 1½ minutes.
• Transfer mixture to a clean, resealable glass jar and refrigerate until chilled. Shake jar before using. Raspberry syrup will keep 2 weeks in the refrigerator-or you can freeze it for several months.
