Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 to 3 cups fresh berries or 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen berries, for serving
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons liqueur of choice, or water
A variety of fruits (apples, pears, melons, figs, strawberries, cut into bite-sized pieces
Pound cake, angel food cake, small cookies, etc., for serving.

Steps:

  • Puree the berries in a blender or food processor. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the liqueur or water. Place the pureed berries and the cornstarch mixture in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and the milky color has disappeared. Pour into a serving bowl or fondue pot. Serve with fondue forks or metal or wooden skewers so that diners can dip their choice of fruit or cake into the sauce.

BUTTERSCOTCH FRUIT FONDUE

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of chocolate: For a smooth and creamy fondue, use a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. Avoid using chocolate chips, as they contain stabilizers that can make the fondue grainy.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process of heating and cooling the chocolate in a controlled manner. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and prevent it from seizing when it is melted.
  • Use a double boiler or fondue pot to melt the chocolate: This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Add flavorings to the chocolate: You can add a variety of flavorings to the chocolate, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or chili powder. You can also add liqueurs, such as Grand Marnier or Kahlua.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers: Some popular dippers for fruit fondue include strawberries, bananas, pineapple, and marshmallows.
  • Keep the fondue warm: If you are serving the fondue for a long period of time, you can keep it warm by placing it over a low flame or in a fondue warmer.
