Carrot-Raspberry Puree

June 24, 2015 by Maureen Lucas Leave a Comment

Carrot Raspberry Puree

This recipe comes from a cooking class I took from Martha Stewart in 1984.  I have to confess that I do not like cooked carrots but I love this puree. The sweetness of the carrots with the tartness of the raspberries and Créme de Cassis (black currant liqueur) makes this my favorite vegetable dish of all time.  Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without it.

Carrot-Raspberry Puree
It may cost more but do try to find a good quality liqueur as opposed to something like Hiram Walker which tastes like sugar. I like Mathilde Black Currant Liqueur from France.
Servings Prep Time

Cook Time
30 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 10 ounce bag frozen raspberries
  • 3 tablespoons raspberry vinegar or sherry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Créme de Cassis Black Currant Liqueur
Instructions
  1. Place the raspberries in a strainer over a bowl and set aside to thaw or thaw overnight in refrigerator. Be sure to save the raspberry liquid.
  2. Place the carrots in a heavy bottom saucepan with just enough water to cover. Add one tablespoon of the butter and cook, covered, over low heat until very tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. Strain the carrots and place in the bowl of a food processor. Puree until you get a smooth, even consistency.
  4. Place the puree in the top of a double boiler or over a pot of simmering water and cover to keep warm.
  5. I usually put a clean towel or paper towel under the cover of the double boiler so the condensation doesn't drip onto the puree and thin it.
  6. When ready to serve, combine the vinegar, Cassis and 1 tablespoon of the raspberry liquid in a small saucepan and reduce by half or until it is a thick, syrupy consistensy.
  7. Gently swirl the syrup, raspberries and remaining butter into the warm carrot puree and serve. Delicious!
Recipe Notes

This can easily be made the day before, just leave out the raspberries, tablespoon of butter and syrup.  About an hour before serving, place in the top of a double boiler to heat up and keep warm.  Add raspberries, butter and syrup (this should be made just before serving).  Even if I double the recipe I still only use 1 package frozen raspberries.
