You can substitute a whole vanilla bean for the vanilla extract in the crème anglaise. Drop a split vanilla bean into the milk before heating; discard bean before adding milk to egg mixture. Ingredients:
3 pints (6 cups) fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
2 cups 1% low-fat milk |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Chop and mash 1 pint (2 cups) strawberries in a large bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and lemon juice. Halve remaining 2 pints (4 cups) strawberries; add to mashed strawberries. Set aside.
2. Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until hot (do not boil). Combine eggs and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium saucepan; stir well with a whisk. Gradually add hot milk, stirring well. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat 6 minutes or until mixture coats back of a spoon (do not boil). Remove from heat, and let cool.
