Strawberries In Orange And Caramel Sauce Recipes

CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CREPES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, macerate strawberries, sugar, and orange liqueur for 30 to 60 seconds.
• Lay 1 crepe flat on serving plate and lightly spread 1 tablespoon chocolate spread, 1 tablespoon whipped topping, and 1/4 cup strawberry mixture. Roll crepe or fold in quarters. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
• Serve immediately with a dusting of cocoa powder.

STRAWBERRIES WITH CHOCOLATE CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook sugar in a dry 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and carefully pour in cream (mixture will steam and bubble vigorously). Once bubbles begin to subside, return pan to moderate heat and cook, stirring constantly, until caramel is dissolved.
• Remove from heat, then add chocolate and salt and stir until chocolate is melted. Add butter and stir until just melted.
• Cool sauce slightly, then drizzle over strawberries.

STRAWBERRIES IN ORANGE JUICE

Steps:

• Wash and hull: 1 1/2 pints sweet ripe strawberries.
• Cut the berries in half or in quarters if they are large.
• Stir together: 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice (from 3 large oranges), 3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste.
• Pour the juice over the berries and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold.
• Substitute a fruity red wine for the orange juice and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
• Add the segments of 1 or 2 oranges to the sliced strawberries.

FRUIT CARAMEL

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until it all melts into a light gold syrup, 5 to 6 minutes. Continue to cook to a golden brown color, about 1 minute more. Carefully add the fruit all at once and reduce the heat to medium-low. The hot syrup may bubble and become foamy.
• Continue to cook, stirring constantly until any hard clumps of caramel dissolve and the fruit pieces soften and break down, about 4 minutes. Stir in the salt and heavy cream until there are no white streaks then remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl and use immediately, or cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Serve warm as a topping for ice cream, pies or tarts, or use as a caramel filling for layered cake or trifles. If cold, reheat gently in a small saucepan over low heat.

ORANGES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small high-sided saucepan. Using your finger, stir to create a sandy mixture, being careful not to get sugar on the side of the pan. Set pan over medium heat. Without stirring, cook mixture until dark amber in color, swirling pan carefully while cooking to keep the color uniform, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low. Slowly add the cream, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Remove pan from heat, add the lemon juice and butter, and stir until well blended, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Using a very sharp knife, cut top and bottom from oranges. Carefully slice away peel and white pith. Place oranges in serving bowls, and pour at least 3 tablespoons reserved caramel sauce over each. The unused caramel can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 1 week.

STRAWBERRIES IN ORANGE AND CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Grate zest from orange into a small bowl, then squeeze juice into bowl. Add butter, liqueur, and a pinch of salt.
• Heat sugar in a dry 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring with a fork to heat sugar evenly, until it starts to melt, then stop stirring and cook, swirling skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is dark amber. Remove from heat and immediately add orange-juice mixture. Boil, stirring, until caramel has dissolved and sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Add strawberries and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
