SPICED CARAMEL SYRUP



Spiced Caramel Syrup image

While this syrup was created by the pastry chef Daniel Skurnick to pour over his Franco-Chinese steamed ginger-milk custard, it's a good recipe to have handy when you want something to pour over cooked fruit, ice cream or pudding - I like it paired with vanilla, chocolate or butterscotch. It's a quickly made syrup flavored with peppercorns, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Mr. Skurnick says you should cook the caramel until its color is "Irish-setter red" before adding the spices - it's a perfect description of what you're looking for.

Provided by Dorie Greenspan

Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield Enough to top 6 custards

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
10 black peppercorns
4 whole cloves
1 slice nutmeg (about 1/4 of a whole nutmeg)
1 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water

Steps:

  • Pour the sugar into a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Once the sugar starts to color, swirl the pan so that it melts and colors evenly.
  • When the caramel is a light reddish-brown color, or as Mr. Skurnick says, "Irish-setter red" (it takes about 5 minutes to reach this stage), drop in the spices and, standing away from the pan, carefully pour in the water. When it boils, reduce the heat to very low and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Strain the caramel into a heatproof container (discard the spices or use them for tea), and cool completely. You can keep the syrup covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It will thicken; warm gently to reliquefy.

BEER-BATTERED SQUASH WITH KETCHUP CHIP SALT AND SPICED MAPLE SYRUP RECIPE BY TASTY



Beer-Battered Squash With Ketchup Chip Salt And Spiced Maple Syrup Recipe by Tasty image

It's the ketchup chip salt that does it for me.

Provided by SpongeTowels

Categories     Sides

Yield 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 acorn squash
1 butternut squash
2 cups ketchup chips
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ teaspoon chili flakes
2 tablespoons fresh chives
vegetable oil
1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup beer, chilled
1 egg

Steps:

  • Slice the acorn squash in half horizontally, then scoop out all of the seeds. Slice into ⅛-inch pieces and set aside. For the butternut squash, peel away the outer skin well and slice into similar sized slices.
  • For the ketchup chip salt, transfer the chips to a resealable plastic bag then crush them into fine pieces (use your hands, a rolling pin, or a kitchen mallet). Place the chips in a bowl, then mix in the salt. In a separate bowl, mix the maple syrup and chili flakes. Set both the chip salt and spiced maple aside.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven bring your oil up to 350⁰F. While the oil heats, make your beer batter. In a large mixing bowl, add the cake flour, salt, and baking powder. Then pour in the cold beer, followed by the egg. Whisk well to incorporate.
  • When the oil has reached its temperature, begin coating the slices of squash in the batter, making sure to shake off any excess, before carefully placing in the oil. Deep-fry the squash for 2 to 3 minutes, being mindful not to overcrowd the pot (this will drop the temperature), then transfer to a paper towel lined sheet tray to absorb any extra oil. Season immediately with a liberal sprinkling of the ketchup chip salt. Continue frying in batches until all of the squash is cooked.
  • To serve, place the fried squash in a paper-towel lined serving basket. Sprinkle on some extra chip salt if desired, and garnish with finely sliced chives. Serve with the spiced maple syrup for dipping and enjoy!
