Macerate (recipes)


Similar to marinating, this means to soak raw, dried or preserved fruit or Vegetables in liquid (usually alcohol, liqueur, Wine, brandy or sugar syrup) to soften or take away bitterness, and to allow the ingredients to absorb the flavours of the liquid.You can serve macerated fruits as they are with some cream or ice cream, or use them to make fritters or compotes.Dried fruits for winter compotes are often macerated. Ensure you completely cover fruits that discolour with the liquid and don' t leave soft fruits too long or they' ll turn to mush.Griddled croissants with macerated strawberries
