SHF #43 – Citrus – Sorbetto di Limone

SHF #43 – Citrus – Sorbetto di Limone

Tartelette is hosting the 43rd edition of Sugar High Friday, the brainchild of Jennifer aka The Domestic Goddess, and has chosen citrus as the theme for this event. I love citrus and the choices seemed to be endless. I can hardly wait for the round-up. Finally, I decided on a recipe from Jamie’s Italy for Lemon Sorbet – Sorbetto di Limone The ingredients are his, the wording is mine. Jamie Oliver does this without an ice cream maker, but simply in a shallow tray in the freezer – the result is probably something along the lines of a granitá more than a sorbet. Sorbetto di Limone - for simple syrup - 200 g sugar 200 ml water - for sorbet - 200 ml lemon juice 1 lemon, finely grated...

SHF #38 – Coconut Pudding with Mango Topping

SHF #38 – Coconut Pudding with Mango Topping

Zorra at Kochtopf is hosting the latest issue of the famous Sugar High Friday event and she has chosen Pudding as the theme. Seeing her gorgeous and well-photographed Blanc Manger I am almost hesitant to post my entry… I tried a new recipe and with some tuning ended up with these: Coconut Tapioca Pudding with Mango Topping I stopped at an Asian grocery to buy the tapioca pearls needed for this recipe and also the coconut milk. In fact, this is very much reminiscent of the desserts of South East Asia, people there seem to be very fond of a pearl texture in puddings, and it is a lot like sticky coconut rice. The puddings are very rich and a small serving goes a long way, so choose smallish...

SHF #27 – Chocolate Orange Bread Pudding

SHF #27 – Chocolate Orange Bread Pudding

When a few days ago I made sweet yeasted apricot rolls, more or less following a recipe from Chili & Ciabatta for pineapple bread, little did I know that I would stumble upon a recipe for “individual orange & chcolate bread puddings” at the Fine Cooking website. The rolls, already getting stale a little, seemed to be perfect for this dish, which I chose as my entry for Sugar High Friday #27, titled “Chocolate by Brand” and hosted kindly by David Lebowitz. So, before I present the bread puddings, let’s have a look at the chocolate .-) This is the brand of chocolate I buy usually for baking, but normally the bittersweet variety, which I will undoubtedly use when I make this dish again – I don’t care much...

SHF #22 – Canning and Preserving – Blueberry Curd

SHF #22 – Canning and Preserving – Blueberry Curd

Nicky from delicious days is hosting the August 2006 edition of the Sugar High Friday, choosing “Canning and Preserving” as a theme. I love preserving and usually a theme like this would send me into a preserving frenzy, pickling peppers, marinating peaches, making fine jams and jellies… and as Nicky requested, I’ll tell you about my preserving books at the end of my post. But, since most of the fruit available to me is sitting in a freezer 550 km south from here, I decided to restrain myself and make just one recipe and a small amount of it, because it has to stay in the refrigerator and does not keep too long, although it is, technically, preserving… Blueberry Curd Yes, the color is for real . Because I...

SHF #21 – Ice Ice Baby – Pistachio Gelato

SHF #21 – Ice Ice Baby – Pistachio Gelato

the delicious life is calling all cooks for a special summer edition of the SHF – Sugar High Friday, and of course I willingly oblige to anyone asking me to bring out that ice cream maker under the current hot weather conditions. For this event I chose to recreate a childhood favorite of mine – Italian Pistachio Gelato. Nowadays, pistachio ice cream seems to be a synthetically green colored, artificially flavored smooth mass, but I remember the pale green of real Italian ice cream where pappa made all the varieties in his ice cream parlour himself… and the intense taste of real pistachios. Shrek-a-licious Ice Cream Shrek would approve You need: an ice cream maker – and a blender or food processor.

SHF # 15 – Sugar Low Friday

SHF # 15 – Sugar Low Friday

“Sugar is the devil” – and Becks & Posh invite for a Sugar (not) High Friday. I was afraid I wouldn’t make it to a SHF for the next months since I am livin’ la vida lowcarb, but now I have the perfect excuse to dig out my bottles of sugarfree Torani syrup (with Splenda) and create something I *really* miss – ice cream. There are no low carb products whatsoever in my part of the world, and even obtaining Splenda-sweetened syrups is quite difficult. But for a special treat, they are perfect. (I am awfully sorry this is not frugal as far as fats are concerned, but I am sure you could subsitute half-and-half for the cream). Sugar Free Caramel Ice Cream Ingredients (4 servings approx.) 4 egg...
