  • EASY FRUIT DESSERTS: In this episode of Bake it Up a Notch, Erin McDowell makes FOUR easy and versatile fruit desserts. With minimal tools and minimal cooking time, these recipes are a perfect way to turn an abundance of seasonal fruit into some delicious treats!
    PLUM FRUIT LEATHER: I love to make fruit leather. It’s an extremely rewarding project with very little active time and requires little effort. It’s a great way to use in-season, juicy fruits, but it works just as well with thawed frozen fruit, too. You can adjust the sweetness level to your liking: adding more sugar will make a leather that tastes a bit more like a chewy candy-like treat, but you can just as easily rely on the natural sugars of the fruit and add very little (or none). Like anything made with fresh fruit, the precise cooking time of this leather is somewhat difficult to predict. Different kinds of fruit are juicier, and some will thicken a bit more naturally due to the makeup of their particular combination of flesh, skin, and/or seeds. - Erin Jeanne McDowell
    SOUR CHERRY SYRUP: It’s so good, so easy, and so special-such huge reward for very little effort-that I will now be making a batch every time I get the “good cherries.” Spoon your syrup over ice cream, blend it into a milkshake, or use it to make an ice cream soda or float! Or my personal favorite move is to mix it into fresh squeezed lemonade or limeade for a sweet-sour summer treat. It keeps for up to three months in the refrigerator, so it’s also great as a cocktail mixer, too, because we’re essentially making homemade grenadine. Best of all, reserve and enjoy the bonus by-product: the simmered, sweetened cherries. When the syrup is strained, reserve the fruit to spoon over your favorite dessert, stir into yogurt, or purée them to make fruit leather. -Erin Jeanne McDowell
    SWIRLY FRUIT CREAMSICLES: Homemade popsicles are so easy to make-but with just a little extra effort they can become showstopper-level extraordinary. These popsicles take two simple bases, and swirl them together to make one of the dreamiest popsicles/ice cream bars ever. The first base is a homemade fruit purée-this is as simple as cooking fruit and sugar, then straining it to make a smooth, flavorful purée. The second component is a no-churn ice cream base. (Don’t know what I’m talking about? Be sure to watch the ice cream episode of Bake it Up a Notch for more info and recipes. f52.co/3ws7nWl) The two are partially folded together to create a somewhat combined, gorgeously swirly effect full of bright natural fruit colors juxtaposed with creamy vanilla ice cream. - Erin Jeanne McDowell
    APRICOT DUMPLINGS: These fluffy, fruit-filled treats continue my love affair with simple stovetop dumplings (a love affair so grand, I devoted a six-page ode to dumplings in my newest book, Savory Baking). I grew up eating a lot of these kinds of dumplings in savory applications-like chicken and dumplings. But this sweet version makes a perfect, not-too-sweet summer dessert. It’s easy to make, but still feels fancy enough to serve for company. It’s a perfect dish to celebrate the wonderful bounty of fresh summer fruit. - Erin Jeanne McDowell

    The lemon shakeups are such a game changer. Never knew you could get 1 quart of homemade lemonade with just 1 lemon. The barrier to lemonade entry is so low now! I've made these 3 days in a row because they're so good. Thanks so much for sharing, Erin!

    My dad would make fruit leather out of applesauce - he’d put it out in the sun on old screens and windows with some cling filmthat he cleaned and kept just for that. Was and still is some of my favorite fruit leather - still make it in honor of him to this day!

    Pineapple chunks blended with coconut milk and a little sugar make a yummy frozen treat.

    Popsicles are a lot of fun to make, I've done a lot of fun fruit applications - though you can also make hot chocolate, let it cool a bit, then freeze that. I'd add thick yoghurt to any popsicle that doesn't have a custard type base, as that keeps the splintery texture down

    My favourite trick for taking the pits out of peaches, apricots, things like that is to use needlenose pliers. If you reach in through the stem end of the fruit, grab the pit with the pliers and twist, the pit comes right out.

    Thank you dear Erin, it's always great watiching you. Within my halfAustrian family we make the apricot dumplings with pasta dough and up the breacrumb and suger coating with a bit of cinnamon. while my 100% Austrian family ups it definitely more than a notch by adding some cocoa powder on top.

    The apricot dumplings look lovely! Reminds me of my family's zwetschgenknödel (German plum dumplings), except that those are made with a potato dough.

      Doesn't bother me. Erin is so much fun to watch & I learn so much that I don't pay attention to camera angles & stuff like.

    • @TheBLGL
      @TheBLGL Před 11 měsíci +1

      She is speaking to the camera in most of the video, the frames you’re referring to are taken from a second camera, it would be impossible for her to look at both cameras.
      What a life to be annoyed by such minor things. Either you’re oblivious to all the real problems in this world, or you just don’t care. Both are the reason the world is such a sh*tshow to begin with.

    • @aerocoaster3252
      @aerocoaster3252 Před 11 měsíci

      @@TheBLGL - So, are we only allowed to be “annoyed” by major disasters? The two camera edit was, I believe, originally used when there was a studio audience, and was intended to convey the idea that the speaker was addressing that audience. It is just weird when there is no studio audience, since it gives the impression that the speaker is addressing thin air. I am capable of being annoyed by this without losing perspective on major life context.
