How to Make Turbinado Crusted Berries
- **Prepare the Strawberries:** Gently wash and dry 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Remove the green tops.
- **Prep the Baking Sheet:** Line a half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
- **Egg White Wash:** In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg white lightly.
- **Sugar Coating:** In a separate shallow bowl, place 1 cup of turbinado sugar.
- **Coat the Strawberries:** Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each strawberry with the egg white.
- **Roll in Sugar:** Gently roll each egg-washed strawberry in the turbinado sugar, ensuring even coating.
- **Bake (Optional):** Arrange the coated strawberries on the prepared baking sheet. For a slightly caramelized crust, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- **Cool:** Let the coated strawberries cool completely before serving.
- **(Optional) Make the Goat Cheese Fondue:** In a blender, combine 4 ounces of softened goat cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 2 tablespoons of dry Port wine.
- **Reduce the Port:** In a small, non-reactive saucepan, place 1/4 cup Port. Over medium heat, cook until reduced by 90% (be cautious, as the alcohol may ignite).
- **Add Cream:** Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream and cook until reduced by 60%.
- **Blend Fondue:** Carefully pour the reduced Port and cream mixture into the blender with the goat cheese and sour cream. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
- **Season:** Season the fondue with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to taste.
- **Keep Warm:** Transfer the fondue to a double boiler or a small saucepan over very low heat to keep warm.
- **Serve:** Spoon some warm fondue onto each plate. Arrange two coated strawberries on top of the fondue.
- **Enjoy!:** Serve immediately and savor the delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors!
