BUTTERSCOTCH FRUIT FONDUE



Butterscotch Fruit Fondue image

If ever you've - lazily, guiltily - bought ready peeled, sliced, cubed fruit from the supermarket and then wondered why you bothered, as you get home to discover the fruit is brightly hued but dimly flavored, this is the solution. Anything, frankly, dunked into a butterscotch sauce tastes good, and this is a fabulous everyday or even party pudding. I own up, some fruits come out of a cellophane box, the mango ready cubed, the melon ready sliced, but mostly I make this for the children using bananas and pears I have actually managed to peel and slice myself. The strawberries you don't even need to hull: Their stalks are useful to lower the berries into the molton fondue. I give everyone - here just the two of us - a little cup of fondue for their own individual dipping. It does mean you make more sauce than is needed, but gets around the shared spit and saliva issue. Or you could make half the amount and pour over a cubed mix of pineapple, papaya, mango. Either way, you don't want the butterscotch fondue too fiercely hot, not least because it will be too runny. If you make it before you sit down to eat altogether, it should be just about perfect by the time you reach pudding. I am also pretty keen on this cold, spooned straight from the cup. You could subsitute dark corn syrup for the golden syrup, but I'm afraid it doesn't have the viscosity or flavor. Since you can now get Lyle's Golden Syrup sent to you from Amazon Gourmet, I don't feel bad recommending the less familiar ingredient.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings (5 cups fondue, 24 cookies)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup pecans
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, softened
2 tablespoons cold water
Flaky sea salt
3 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup honey
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup Scotch whisky
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the shortbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the pecans and sugar just until sandy--do not overpulse, as you don't want a paste. Add the flour and salt; pulse until combined. Cut butter into small cubes and add to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and pulse quickly, until a rough dough forms.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and press into a cohesive dough. Roll to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a knife or a rectangular cookie cutter, cut into 1-by-3-inch rectangles, about 24 total; re-roll scraps if necessary.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the cookies lightly with sea salt. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Bake until golden brown at the edges, 14 to 17 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool to room temperature.
  • For the fondue: Combine the sugar, water and honey in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the mixture is a deep-amber caramel color, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Carefully pour in the cream--stand back as the mixture will bubble and splatter. Once the bubbling subsides, turn off the heat and whisk the caramel until smooth.
  • Whisk in the whiskey, butter, salt and vanilla.
  • Pour the sauce into the fondue pots and keep warm.
  • Serve the fondue with the cookies.
