RUBY CRANBERRY VANILLA SAUCE



Ruby Cranberry Vanilla Sauce image

This is almost jam-like in consistency and has such a knock-out flavor from its simplicity. You can be versatile with flavorings (rum, brandy, vodka, lemon, lime, or orange peel) and this can be used to fill doughnuts, cupcakes, cookies, or heated and served over pound cakes or cheesecakes. ...It happens to marry well with French Toast and pancakes (gingerbread pancakes with warm maple syrup, a little whipped cream, a touch of orange zest, and mugs of hot cocoa creates a very beautiful sensation in our kitchen on cold Sunday mornings!)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Sauce:
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup cranberry juice cocktail
1/2 cup sugar
Soufflés:
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/4 cups canned unsweetened coconut milk* (from one 13-to 14-ounce can)
5 tablespoons sugar, divided, plus additional for sprinkling
1 1/2 teaspoons white rum
3/4 teaspoon coconut extract
Pinch of salt
5 large egg whites, room temperature
1/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut, lightly toasted, cooled, crushed into small flakes plus additional toasted sweetened flaked coconut for garnish
Special Equipment
8 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins

Steps:

  • For sauce:
  • Bring all ingredients to boil in small saucepan, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat; simmer until berries are soft, about 6 minutes. Pour mixture through strainer set over bowl, pressing on solids to extract liquid. Discard solids in strainer. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm sauce before using.
  • For soufflés:
  • Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; whisk until bubbling but not brown, about 2 minutes. Gradually add coconut milk; whisk until mixture boils and thickens, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; whisk in 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, rum, extract, and salt. Transfer to large bowl. Place plastic wrap directly onto surface of soufflé base. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature; whisk until smooth before continuing.
  • Butter eight 3/4-cup custard cups or ramekins; sprinkle with sugar, tilting cups to coat completely and tapping out any excess. Place cups on rimmed baking sheet. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 21/2 tablespoons sugar and beat until medium-stiff peaks form. Add 1/4 of whites to coconut base and whisk until lightened. Add remaining whites in 2 additions and fold in with rubber spatula. Fold in crushed toasted coconut. Divide soufflé mixture among prepared cups; smooth tops. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Bake soufflés until puffed and beginning to brown, about 18 minutes. Transfer 1 soufflé to each of 8 plates. Top with warm cranberry sauce and garnish with toasted coconut; serve immediately.
  • Available at many supermarkets and at Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin markets.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are the best choice for making ruby cranberry sauce. They are more flavorful and have a brighter color than frozen or canned cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they burst and become tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add to your cranberry sauce is a matter of personal preference. If you like your cranberry sauce tart, add less sugar. If you like it sweet, add more sugar.
  • Add spices to taste. You can add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or ginger to your cranberry sauce to give it a more complex flavor. Add spices sparingly, as too much can overpower the cranberries.
  • Let the cranberry sauce cool before serving. Cranberry sauce is best served cold. Let it cool to room temperature before serving, or chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Conclusion:

Ruby cranberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It is a classic Thanksgiving side dish, but it can also be served with other meals, such as chicken, turkey, pork, or fish. Cranberry sauce is also a great way to add a tart and tangy flavor to desserts, such as pies, cakes, and cookies. With its bright red color and delicious flavor, ruby cranberry sauce is a versatile and festive addition to any holiday table.
