Homemade Cherry Tarts

Posted on August 17, 2023 by fruit-recipes

With so many ways to enjoy fresh cherries, these cherry tarts are one of my favorites. They can be served warm or chilled, and we like them with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of chocolate shavings.

Ingredients:

For the Tart Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Cherry Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

procedure:

Tart Crust:

1. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and salt to combine.

2. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.

5. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Cherry Filling:

1. In a bowl, combine the halved cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss to coat the cherries evenly. Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembling the Tarts:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled tart dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.

3. Cut out rounds from the dough using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Press the rounds into the cavities of a muffin tin, gently shaping the dough to fit the molds.

4. Divide the cherry filling among the tart shells.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

6. Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Once the tarts are completely cool, you can dust them with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Strawberry Fig Preserves

Posted on August 17, 2023 by fruit-recipes

Ingredients:

  •  2 cups ripe strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh figs, stemmed and chopped
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

procedure:

1. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, figs, and sugar. Stir well to coat the fruit with the sugar. Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the fruit to release some of its juices.

2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

3. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the fruit mixture. These ingredients will enhance the flavor and help balance the sweetness.

4. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the fruit becomes soft and the mixture thickens. This can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the fruit and the desired consistency of the preserves.

5. As the mixture thickens, use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to break down any larger fruit pieces, if desired. This will help create a smoother texture.

6. If using vanilla extract, add it to the mixture during the last few minutes of cooking.

7. To check the consistency of the preserves, place a small amount on a chilled plate. If it thickens and doesn’t immediately run, it’s ready.

8. Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the saucepan from the heat.

9. Carefully transfer the hot preserves to sterilized jars. Leave about 1/4-inch of headspace at the top of each jar.

10. Wipe the jar rims clean, place sterilized lids on the jars, and screw on the bands until fingertip tight.

11. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for about 10-15 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation. Make sure the water level covers the jars by at least an inch.

12. Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool on a towel or wooden surface. You may hear a “ping” sound as the lids seal.

13. Once the jars are completely cool, check to make sure the lids have sealed properly. The lids should be concave and not move when pressed in the center.

14. Label the jars with the date and store them in a cool, dark place. Properly sealed jars can be stored for several months.

Enjoy your homemade Strawberry Fig Preserves on toast, pancakes, waffles, or as a topping for yogurt and ice cream!

Strawberry fruit icecream recipe

Posted on August 10, 2023 by fruit-recipes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Strawberries:
    • Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into halves.
  2. Sweeten the Strawberries:
    • In a bowl, mix the strawberry halves with half of the granulated sugar (1/4 cup). Toss to coat the strawberries in the sugar. Let the strawberries sit for about 15-20 minutes to macerate, releasing their juices.
  3. Blend the Strawberries:
    • After macerating, transfer the strawberries (along with their juices) to a blender or food processor. Add the lemon juice and blend until you have a smooth strawberry puree.
  4. Prepare the Cream Base:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, remaining sugar (1/4 cup), and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  5. Combine the Mixtures:
    • Gently fold the strawberry puree into the cream mixture. You want to achieve a uniform pink color while still retaining some strawberry swirls.
  6. Chill the Mixture:
    • Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it’s well chilled. Chilling helps develop the flavors and ensures a smoother texture when churning.
  7. Churn the Ice Cream:
    • Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Churning incorporates air into the mixture and helps create a creamy texture.
  8. Transfer and Freeze:
    • Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container. You can optionally swirl in additional strawberry puree if you want more visible strawberry bits in the ice cream. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Final Freeze:
    • Place the container in the freezer and allow the ice cream to firm up for at least 4-6 hours or until it reaches your desired consistency.
