Fresh Strawberry Rose Pie Food

FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE WITH ROSé WINE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the melted butter over the crumbs and toss to combine. Pour the crumbs into a 9" pie plate. Press the crumbs onto the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
• Take the pan out of the oven. While it's still warm, press down to flatten puffy spots and to close any gaps in the crust. While the crust is still warm, sprinkle the chopped white chocolate into the bottom of the pie shell. Allow the chocolate to melt and then gently spread it across the bottom and sides of the pie shell. Cool until the chocolate is set.
• Place 1 1/2 pounds of the strawberries into a large mixing bowl and put the bowl in the refrigerator.
• Puree the remaining 8 oz of berries in a food processor with the wine. You should have about 1 1/ 2 cups of strawberry puree. You can add a little more wine to bring it up to 1 1/2 cups if needed.
• Put a 1/2 cup of purée into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the purée and whisk briefly to combine. Set it aside to bloom.
• In a medium sauce pan combine the rest of the strawberry puree with the sugar. Cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and liquid is hot. It doesn't need to come to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until the gelatin is melted. Set the puree aside to cool until it is tepid.
• Remove the bowl of berries from the refrigerator. Pour the puree over the whole berries and toss to give them an even coating. Lift the berries out of the puree and arrange them into the pie shell. I like to start with the largest berries to cover the bottom of the shell. Then arrange the small berries on top. You can cut them into halves or quarters to nestle them between the larger berries. Pour the puree over the berries.
• Chill the pie for at least 6 hours to set the gelatin. Whip the cream with the confectioner's sugar. Pipe a border of cream around the edge of the pie. Serve the pie with the rest of the whipped cream on the side.

STRAWBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Quarter 2 pounds of the strawberries and set aside. Dice half of the remaining pound, then slice the remainder.
• Stir 1 tablespoon granulated sugar together in a bowl with the elderflower liqueur until the sugar dissolves. Toss with the diced berries and set aside to macerate at room temperature.
• Place the quartered strawberries in a medium pot and gently stir together with the jam, cornstarch, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the strawberries begin to break down and the mixture is thick and jammy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool about 10 minutes, then stir in the reserved macerated berries.
• Pour mixture into the baked crust and allow to chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 3 hours.
• Decorate the top of the pie with the sliced berries in concentric circles. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Whip the cream along with the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and cream of tartar until it holds medium stiff peaks. Serve alongside the pie.

FRESH STRAWBERRY ROSE PIE

Steps:

• To prepare crust:Place the flour, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. The colder the better for all the ingredients and tools.With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cold butter a few cubes at a time, until the butter breaks up into pea-sized crumbs (any larger chunks you can break up with your fingers).Add the apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of ice water at a time, mixing on low speed until it just barely comes together into a crumbly dough (you should be able to pinch a piece of dough and have it hold together). Knead the dough once or twice to form a ball, then form into a disc. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Let the crust come to room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes (it should be still cool but pliable).Roll out crust into a round large enough to fit into your pie pan with a 1-inch overhang. Gently transfer rolled out crust to pie pan, easing it into the pan so as not to stretch the dough. Trim any uneven edges so there is a nice even overhang around the entire pie.Fold the overhang under itself, then crimp as desired. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.Line pie with a piece of foil, lightly draping the foil over the crimped edges. Fill with granulated sugar to weight it down (pie weights work too, also dried rice or beans).Bake crust for 50 to 60 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven and carefully lift out foil with weights. If the crust still seems underdone, pop it in the oven for another 10 minutes or so until golden brown and puffed. Place on a wire rack and let cool.For the Filling:Pick out about 8 ounces of the least-attractive berries; hull and cut in half. Process berries in a food processor until smooth, 20 to 30 seconds, scraping down bowl as needed. You should have a scant 1 cup purée.Whisk sugar, cornstarch, Pomona's pectin, and salt in a bowl and set aside.In a medium saucepan, stir together berry puree, lemon juice, rose water, along with calcium water (if using Pomona's pectin). Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with heatproof rubber spatula, and bring to full boil. Add sugar-pectin mixture and stir vigorously until completely dissolved. Return to a boil, scraping bottom and sides of pan to prevent scorching, for 1 to 2 minutes to ensure that cornstarch is fully cooked; it will become very thick. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature.Meanwhile, pick over remaining berries to find the most attractive ones; if you have any extra-large berries you can cut them in half, otherwise, leave them whole. Place in a large bowl.Pour glaze mixture over berries and fold gently with rubber spatula until evenly coated. Scoop berries into cooled pie crust, arranging them into a nice looking mound, rearranging as necessary and flipping berries so the cut sides are facing down.Refrigerate about 2 hours until fully set, then slice and serve. This pie is best enjoyed within 5 hours of chilling, topped with freshly whipped cream.
