Zubereitung von Fried Fruit With Bay Leaf Sauce
- **Prepare the Bay Leaf Sauce:**
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 vanilla bean (split and scraped), and 5-7 fresh bay leaves (or 2-3 tsp dried bay leaves).
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches 175°F (80°C). Do not boil.
- The sauce is ready when it coats the back of a spoon thickly.
- Remove from heat and stir for 2 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
- **Prepare the Fried Fruit:**
- Gently wash 1 cup red currants and pat dry with paper towels.
- Wash 1 cup purple grapes and cut into clusters of 3-5 berries.
- Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Dip the berries and 10-12 fresh sage leaves into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully fry the berries for about 1 minute, or until the batter is light golden brown. Fry the sage leaves until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the fried fruit and sage leaves with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While still warm, lightly sprinkle the fried berries and sage leaves with a little extra sugar (optional).
- **Assemble and Serve:**
- Serve the warm fried fruit and sage leaves immediately with the chilled bay leaf sauce. Adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference – aim for a balance of sweet and tart.
