Have to admit when I first read over this recipe; I had visions of that awful fruit mixture that used to get passed around & you would stir & add more fruit....I can’t say, perhaps it was only prepared here in Texas, but, yuk!
Anyway, decided to give it a whirl- any recipe with vanilla beans & star anise has to be worth it. I went with one apple & some nectarines and pluots that needed a mission.
The sauce was quite tasty and it made a pretty little dessert for our dinner. My only question was that the sauce needed much longer to reduce & it did not seem thick enough. Guess I could have doctored it up, but the taste was yummy! To see how our other marvelous cooks fared please link to http://www.frenchfridayswithdorie.com/?p=1201.

I love how the stone fruit skins colored your poaching liquid a beautiful rose. hope the taste was as good as it looked!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so pretty and such a great way to use up fruit hanging around. Sometimes fruit
ReplyDeletedoes not look too good in the refrigerator, but it's amazing what a little poaching can do.
I love the heading on your blog, my thoughts exactly.
