Rum Sabayon With Seasonal Fruits Recipes

BERRIES WITH ORANGE SABAYON

Steps:

• For the Sabayon:
• Wash, zest and juice the orange - set the juice and zest aside.
• (With an electric beater or by hand) Whip the whipping cream and the icing sugar, until a firm peak forms.
• In a separate bowl (heat-proof bowl), whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, orange juice and zest. Slowly add in the sugar, whisking continuously until the mixture starts to foam.
• Place the bowl into a stove-top bain-marie (double boiler), and keep whisking until the mixture doubles (or even triples) in volume and reaches a creamy consistency (this takes 2 to 3 minutes). Make sure the consistency is creamy enough (it should coat the whisk) as this means the eggs are cooked properly.
• Remove from the heat and keep whisking to bring the sabayon down to room temperature (this takes 3 to 4 additional minutes). Once at room temperature, gently fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula.
• For serving:
• Wash and dry the berries. Chop them if needed (ie. strawberries). Scatter them evenly on the bottom of your serving vessels and gently pour the sabayon on top.
• Sprinkle with a light dusting of icing sugar, and place under the broiler for 30 seconds to 2 minutes (depending on the power of your broiler) until you get a light golden hue. If you have a torch blower, this will work great too.
• Serve immediately.

RUM SABAYON SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together all of the ingredients in a double boiler.
• Heat the sauce, whisking continuously, for about 5 minutes, just until it thickens (don't let it boil, or it will curdle!).
• Remove from the heat. Serve warm or chilled -- both ways are good!
