Last year, Chrissi made jam with roasted strawberries and an orange liqueur. It was so delicious that it was devoured in far too short a time. This year, I quadrupled the recipe after our successful U-Pick adventure and upped the ante with genuine Grand Marnier.
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Triple Sec or orange liqueur (with one extra splash for good luck)
METHOD:
Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees.
Mix together strawberries, sugar and liqueur in a large bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.
Transfer strawberry goodness to a lipped baking sheet or sheets and place uncovered into oven for 2 hours or until the berries are a bit soft and shriveled, mixing once or twice as they are baking.
Mash, puree or just can them as is.
Chef’s Notes:
I just transferred the berries to cans without mashing. I think this will make a great topping for ice cream!
The flavor of the Grand Marnier was so exciting, I flambed the remaining batches of regular jam while they were cooking on the stove. Delicious!
