Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 eggs
2 1/4 cups whole or reduced-fat (2%) milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 3/4-inch-thick slices French bread
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Warm maple syrup
Warm Berry Preserves

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in milk. Add 1/3 cup maple syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt; whisk to blend. Divide custard between two 13x9x2-inch glass baking dishes. Arrange bread in single layer in dishes. Let soak 10 minutes. Turn over, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat large griddle or heavy large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, brush griddle with some butter. Add soaked bread; cook until brown on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn French toast over; cook until bottoms are brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to plates. Serve with additional syrup and Warm Berry Preserves.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh berries: This will ensure that your preserves have the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of berries: This will give your preserves a more complex flavor and color.
  • Add sugar to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of your berries and your personal preference.
  • Cook the preserves over low heat: This will help to prevent the berries from scorching and will allow the flavors to develop.
  • Stir the preserves frequently: This will help to prevent the berries from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to distribute the sugar evenly.
  • Test the preserves for doneness: The preserves are done when they have thickened and a small amount of preserves placed on a cold plate wrinkles when pushed with your finger.
  • Can the preserves: Canning is a great way to preserve your preserves for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Warm berry preserves are a delicious and versatile addition to any pantry. They can be enjoyed on toast, waffles, pancakes, or yogurt. They can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own warm berry preserves at home.
