FRUIT CARAMEL



Fruit Caramel image

One way to extend the life of fresh fruits is to incorporate them into caramel sauces. Any caramel sauce base can be enlivened by ripe or slightly overripe fruit, such as bananas, strawberries and stone fruit. This fruit caramel sauce is an excellent way to add a deeper sweetness and a hint of the season to your favorite desserts.

Categories     sauces and gravies

Time 15m

Yield About 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup granulated sugar
4 ounces fresh or frozen fruit, peeled if necessary, such as bananas, peaches or berries, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces (3/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/4 cup heavy cream

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.

PERFECT SUMMER FRUIT SALAD



Perfect Summer Fruit Salad image

The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy.

CARAMEL-DIPPED FRUIT



Caramel-Dipped Fruit image

Try dipping your favorite fruits -- we like figs, kumquats, clementine segments, or grapes -- in this crunchy and sweet caramel coating for a show-stopping arrangement.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 dozen pieces assorted fresh fruit, such as figs, kumquats, clementine segments, or grapes, washed and dried
Caramel Coating

Steps:

  • Place several pieces of newspaper or parchment paper on the floor under the working area - the edge of a counter or tabletop works well - to catch any excess caramel as it drips off the fruit. Have ready 24 two-inch pieces of masking tape and 24 six-inch wooden skewers.
  • Insert each skewer perpendicularly into the bottoms of the fruit without going through the other side. Set the fruit aside.
  • Dip the fruit into the caramel coating, and coat completely. Place the skewers on the edge of the counter or tabletop with the fruit stems pointed toward the floor. Using the masking tape, secure skewers. If coating segmented fruit, rest sections on an oiled wire rack set over a baking sheet. Let caramel drip onto the floor, forming tails; let the caramel set completely.
  • Using scissors, cut the tails to the desired lengths; let cool completely. Just before serving, remove the skewers.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh fruits: The quality of your fruit salad depends on the quality of your fruits. Look for fruits that are ripe, plump, and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of fruits: A variety of fruits will give your salad a more interesting flavor and texture. Try to use a mix of fruits that are sweet, tart, and juicy.
  • Prepare your fruits properly: Wash and dry your fruits before adding them to the salad. If you are using fruits with skins that are hard to digest, such as pineapple or kiwi, you may want to peel them before adding them to the salad.
  • Make the caramel sauce ahead of time: The caramel sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will save you time when you are ready to assemble the salad.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will help to set the caramel sauce and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Caramel mixed fruit salad is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a caramel mixed fruit salad that will impress your friends and family.
