Spiked Strawberry Sauce Food

STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the vanilla.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing against the solids; let cool completely. To store, cover and refrigerate up to 4 days.

SPICY STRAWBERRY BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine strawberry preserves, tomato puree, vinegar, sugar, chili powder, red pepper flakes, cumin, cayenne, and black pepper in a medium pot. Whisk to remove any lumps.
• Bring strawberry mixture to a slow simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until sauce evenly coats the back of a metal spoon and is glossy, about 30 minutes, whisking frequently; never allow the bottom of the pot to scorch. Season with kosher salt.
• Remove sauce from heat and let cool before transferring to a tightly sealed quart-sized container.

SPIKED STRAWBERRY LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, muddle the strawberries with the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar dissolves into the lemon juice and the strawberries start to break down into a chunky paste. Add the vodka and elderflower liqueur, and stir together.
• Spoon the contents of the cocktail shaker into two Collins glasses, add ice and top off with club soda. Stir. Garnish with a few strawberry slices.

STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the strawberries, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook until the strawberries are very soft, a good 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a potato masher to completely smush them to smithereens. Pour the mixture into a fine-mesh strainer placed over a bowl. Use a spoon to stir the fruit so the liquid is forced through. Continue until almost all of the liquid is in the bowl. Set the pulp aside.
• Skim as much foam off the sauce as you can. Pour the skimmed sauce back into the same saucepan, add 1/4 cup of the pulp back in and boil again for 3 minutes over medium-high heat. Skim off any more foam that has formed on the surface, then allow the sauce to cool slightly before pouring it into a pitcher or jar. Refrigerate it to thicken and serve it cold.

STRAWBERRIES IN SPICED SYRUP

Steps:

• In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes syrupy. Mix in the nutmeg and cinnamon, and remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then pour over sliced strawberries.

STRAWBERRY SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the strawberries, sugar and salt to a small saucepan. Mix the cornstarch with 1/2 cup water in a small bowl and add it to the saucepan. Slowly heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat so it's at a very gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon zest and juice and let cool.
• Serve over ice cream with salted peanuts on top.

SUPREME STRAWBERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• Wash strawberries and remove stems; cut large berries in half or roughly chop them.
• Combine strawberries, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. The mixture will sizzle for a while, but then juice will begin to form. Continue stirring; mash a few strawberries with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula to help produce the syrup. Cook until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat. In a blender, puree about 1/3 of the sauce, then mix back into remaining topping. Store in refrigerator.

SPIKED JELLIED CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the gelatin in a small bowl, and pour the vodka and liqueur over it. Let sit until the gelatin is completely soft, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, transfer the cranberry sauce to a small saucepan. Rinse out the can, dry it and coat the inside with cooking spray. Heat the sauce over medium-low heat; once it starts to bubble, whisk it vigorously until it's completely smooth with no lumps (the sauce will darken and have a slight sheen). Remove the pan from the heat, add the softened gelatin and all the liquid, and stir until incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared can.
• Let the cranberry sauce sit at room temperature until the can is just warm to the touch. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
• To serve, run a small knife around the lip of the can to release the cranberry sauce slightly, then turn the can carefully under running hot water (don't get water in the can). Invert the can onto a cutting board, and firmly tap until the sauce unmolds in 1 piece. Lay the sauce on its side on a serving plate, and cut into 6 or 7 slices.
