烤箱烤李子
我最近在社交媒体上发表了声明,称李子是我最喜欢的水果。我想我对樱桃的某个时候说了同样的话。但是我承认,我一生中某个时候也可能对油桃,无花果,芒果和利奇斯说了同样的话。但是,李子确实是我最喜欢的水果,我很高兴它们从夏天一直到秋天开始。
那里有很多李子。在北加州,我们有大紫色的圣罗莎李子,还有其他一些带有大象心脏和安吉利诺(Angelino)的名字的人,以及羽绒,杏仁和李子的混合体。虽然他们不在巴黎出现,但有绿色Reine Claudes(which are close to being at the top of my list for favorite品种of plums), tiny golden米拉贝尔和坚固的Quetches,在烘烤过程中保持相对良好的形状。尽管它们不像美国品种那样酸(李子的大部分酸是在皮肤上),但它们在烘焙或烤箱烤时非常好且美味,因为我经常准备它们。
While I was grabbing what likely are the last nectarines of the season at the market the other day, there were plenty of quetsches in the next bin. They go by other names elsewhere, such as修剪李子,并且与达姆森李子。You don’t have to get too hung up on the name; just look for violet, ovoid plums, and those should work just fine.
Plums have a lovely tendency, when cooked, to create their own beautifully-colored, naturally-thickened sauce, which is why I adore using plums to做果酱。在这里,几勺蜂蜜同轴电缆上的果汁中的其他果汁与它们混合在一起,因为烘烤后果汁变稠,坐了一点。
For a variety of reasons, I have a lot of vanilla. And while prices have spiked in recently years, I feel well-invested in my baking future (and present) and added some vanilla bean powder, which is basically dried and pulverized beans. I like the little specks that show up here and there, but also the earthy vanilla flavor of the beans (versus extract) works really well with plums. But if spices are your thing, as they sometimes are mine, a cinnamon stick or other spices, can certainly fill in for the vanilla.
烤箱烤李子
- 1 1/2磅(680克)修剪李子(Quetches),一半和凹陷
- 2汤匙蜜糖
- 1茶匙香草bean paste or powder,或香草豆,纵向拆分或1个肉桂棒
- 2薄片柠檬或橙色
- 1/4cup (60ml)white wine
-
将烤箱预热至375ºF(190ºC)。
-
Put the plums in a baking dish that will fit them all in an even layer. Drizzle the honey over the plums and add the vanilla (or cinnamon stick), citrus slices, and wine. Gently mix everything together then spread the plums back out so they are in an even layer.
-
用箔纸紧紧覆盖烤盘,并烘烤30至45分钟,在烘烤过程中中途将它们从烤箱中取出,以轻轻搅拌它们。根据李子的不同,它们可能比这里提到的要快,因此请检查几次,以确保它们不会被煮熟。您希望它们柔软,煮熟,但不要煮熟。
