Cherry Puree. Fresh cherries simmered with fresh lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Softened cherries processed smooth in food processor. Cherry puree simmered a few minutes longer to thicken.

Fruit purees are an excellent component for creating sweet and savory dishes. As a simple embellishment or as the star, they pack tremendous flavor and can dramatically change your cooking and baking. For the most part, they could not be simpler to prepare.

I tend to cook down the fruit first, on the stove top or in the oven. A few minutes on the stove top, or a half hour in the oven, is all it takes. The fruit becomes tender and the juices release. I might add a touch of powdered sugar, if the fruit is naturally a bit bitter, or some fresh citrus juice or zest to brighten flavors.

Once the berries have broken down they are processed in a food processor or blended in a blender and strained, if desired, to create a very smooth liquid. The puree can be returned to the stove top to simmer further and thicken, if desired.

We have recipes for strawberry puree, raspberry puree, and apple butter, to name a few. These are all ideal for use in your baked goods, for making beverages, creating sauces, or for eating with a spoon.
