NECTARINES AND BERRIES IN WINE SAUCE



Nectarines and Berries in Wine Sauce image

I have kept a box of white wine in my refrigerator and red in the pantry almost since these easily dispensed wines first became available. Need a half-cup, a cup or more for a recipe? It's at hand, ready to go into the pot, and there's also some always ready to go into the cook.About the only time I serve the wines is on an informal occasion, for example if someone wants a glass of white when everybody else is drinking red. The wines are also handy for a mixed wine drink like a kir, or even sangria.Their destiny, as the poaching liquid for summer nectarines, could not be more rewarding. The fruit is mixed with berries, and the wine, sweetened with sugar, is enriched with berry purée and reduced to a sauce. Whether to use white or red depends on the berries you select. Do not skimp on the chilling time; overnight would not be a mistake. It improves the dessert.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings on its own, 6 to 8 with ice cream

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pint raspberries or blackberries, rinsed
2 cups dry white or red wine
1/2 cup sugar
4 large firm but ripe nectarines, quartered, pits removed and reserved
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons framboise or blackberry brandy, optional
Mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Purée half the raspberries or blackberries by forcing them through a sieve or potato ricer to eliminate seeds.
  • Place the wine (with raspberries, use white; with blackberries, red) in a 3-quart saucepan. Stir in the sugar, bring to a slow simmer and add the nectarines and pits. Simmer until the fruit is just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the nectarines to a bowl with a slotted spoon, draining well. Discard the pits. Stir berry purée into the pan.
  • Bring wine with berry purée to a boil and cook about 15 minutes, until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and framboise or brandy, if using. Allow to cool 30 minutes. Mix the remaining berries with the nectarines. Pour the sauce over the fruit and refrigerate several hours, or overnight. Serve on its own or over ice cream, garnished with mint.

SPICED NECTARINE SAUCE



Spiced Nectarine Sauce image

Green cardamom pods and fresh ginger root enliven this fruit sauce, made with fresh nectarines. The spices and the cooking impart a tangy, tart flavor to the nectarines. It's great over ice cream or stirred into cooked multi-grain hot cereal and eaten with a splash of cream or soy milk. I created this last summer when I needed to use up some huge ripe nectarines that I purchased at the farmer's market. Substitute about a half a teaspoon of ground cardamom if you don't have the whole green pods.

Categories     Fruit

Time 15m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ripe nectarines, pitted and cubed
1 inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled, minced and then pulverized using a mortar and pestle
2 -3 tablespoons butter
1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar, to taste
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, to taste
5 -10 whole green cardamom pods or 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • If you'd rather, peel the nectarines; I like having the peel in there.
  • Melt butter in small saucepan over medium high heat.
  • Dissolve brown sugar in the melted butter, then add the cubed nectarines and the rest of the spices.
  • When mixture starts to simmer, turn heat down to low.
  • Simmer in order to achieve desired consistency and allow flavors to blend. You will want this to be chunky, with some textural variation--chunks of fruit in a thick, medium-brown sauce. This may take 5-10 minutes. Remove pods before serving (? I'm actually not sure if you can eat them).
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, or cool and refrigerate.
  • My note: this was excellent with hot multigrain cereal! I cooked the cereal first and then added the sauce, about 1:1, stirred it in and warmed it up along with the cereal for a few minutes on low/simmer. Yummy!

Roasted Nectarines With Mulled Wine Sauce image

Such a delcious way to use fresh nectarines. Served with custard, ice-cream or youghurt. I found this recipe in the paper and this is such a lovely dessert for summer, it would make for a lovely light dessert during the Christmas period, the spices just compliment the nectarines so well. I am also going to try this with plums. I removed the skins after cooking, the skins come off so well, and looks better for presentation.
