STRAWBERRY GRAND MARNIER TARTS

Steps:

• PASTRY: Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl, add the hazelnuts and mix well.
• Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
• Add the egg yolk and water, and mix to make a firm dough.
• Turn the pastry out onto a lightly-floured surface, and lightly knead.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
• Roll out each portion to cover the base and sides of 6 individual 10cm (4") flan tins and prick the pastry well with a fork.
• Place the flan tins onto oven trays and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• Cook at 180°C for 10 to 12 minutes until the flan pastry cases are a light golden brown, then remove from the oven, and allow them to cool in the flan tins.
• FILLING: Place the sugar, cream and Grand Marnier into a bowl, beat to cream until firm peaks form.
• Spread the cream mixture over the base of each cold pastry case.
• Wash and hull the strawberries, carefully dry them, cut them in half lengthways and arrange over the cream.
• Place strawberry jam, water and extra Grand Marnier into a pan, bring to a simmering point, remove the pan from the heat, push the jam mixture through a fine sieve and allow it to become cold.
• Brush the jam mixture thickly over the strawberries.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.

FRESH FRUIT WITH CREAMY GRAND MARNIER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients and 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier in processor. Blend until smooth.
• Taste and add more Grand Marnier, if desired.
• Transfer mixture to bowl and refrigerate until cold, about one hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.).
• Divide fruit among 8 stemmed goblets.
• Top with sauce and serve.
• Note: Use any fresh fruit in season that you like. It's especially good with strawberries, grapes, and blueberries.

STRAWBERRY JAM WITH GRAND MARNIER

Steps:

• Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. (Removing the stems first makes them too watery.) Mash the strawberries with a potato masher and measure six cups of mashed fruit (if you have less, add extra apple juice so that you have 6 cups).
• Combine mashed berries, Grand Marnier, apple juice and pectin in a large non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil for 1 minute.
• Skim foam and discard. Add sugar all at once and return to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute. Ladle or pour hot jam into hot jars, set lids and process for 10 minutes.

EASY GRAND MARNIER SAUCE

• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes or until mixture becomes slightly syrupy.
• Remove from heat, stir in Grand Marnier and strawberries.
• Serve warm.
• My favorite is with pound cake and vanilla ice cream.

MACERATED STRAWBERRIES
