Orange Berries Chantilly Puffs Recipes

Steps:

• Cut a thin slice off the top of each orange. With a grapefruit spoon, scoop out pulp. Invert oranges onto paper towels to drain. Remove and discard membrane from orange pulp; set aside., In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and extract; beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in orange juice. Fold in reserved orange pulp. Spoon into orange shells. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Unfold pastry sheet, then turn over (to prevent creases from splitting during baking). Cut 6 (4 1/2-inch) triangles from sheet with a long sharp knife and a ruler.
• Arrange triangles on a greased baking sheet and lightly prick centers a few times with a fork. Bake in middle of oven until puffed and golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool.
• Stir together cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Add berries and sugar and simmer over moderately high heat, stirring and breaking up berries, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Force purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids, then cool purée at room temperature.
• Boil wine in another small saucepan until reduced to about 1 tablespoon, 10 to 12 minutes, then cool.
• Beat cream with confectioners sugar and zest in a bowl until it just holds stiff peaks. Fold wine into cream until just incorporated, then chill.
• Split each pastry triangle in half horizontally and make a sandwich with about 1 1/2 tablespoons cream. Spread 1 teaspoon purée on top of each pastry, leaving a 1/4-inch border (there will be purée left over). Decoratively arrange some raspberries and blackberries on top and sift some confectioners sugar over berries.

Steps:

• Grate 1/2 teaspoon zest from the orange.
• Heat 1 package raspberries, the blueberries, water, 4 tablespoons sugar and half the orange zest in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool for 25 minutes. Stir in the remaining raspberries.
• Beat the heavy cream and the remaining sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
• Spoon the raspberry mixture into the pastry shells. Top with the whipped cream. Sprinkle with the remaining orange zest. Top with the pastry "tops".

Steps:

• Combine 2 ½ cups of sugar, water, vanilla, and orange extract in a sauce pan. Heat over medium until the sugar has completely dissolved-but not boiling.
• Pour in the cranberries and stir. The hot syrup will loosen the skin, saturate the berries and adhere to the berries over time.
• Cover the cranberries with a small plate to keep them mostly submerged. Then cover the pan and place it in the refrigerator over night.
• Place the remaining 1 ¼ cup of sugar in a rimmed dish. Strain the cranberries and place them in the sugar. Shake until they are completely coated.
• Carefully transfer them to a baking sheet to dry-about an hour.
• Once the sugar coating is hard, place them in an air-tight container and keep in a cool spot for up to a week!
• *Don't forget to refrigerate your Cranberry Infused Vanilla-Orange Syrup for cocktail time!
