Caramel GLazed Raspberry Crème Brulee
2 cups heavy cream
8 large egg yolks
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ to ½ tsp vanilla extract
fresh raspberries or raspberry jam
Heat heavy cream almost to a simmer. In a medium bowl, stir eggs yolks and sugar just until blended. Gradually stir in cream. Stain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in vanilla extract. Place in the bottom of six 6-ounce ramekins 4 to 5 fresh raspberries (or two tsp jam). Fill the ramekins with mixture and place in water bath. Set the pan in the oven at 250. Bake until custard is set and still slightly quivery in the center, 1 to 1 ½ hours. Remove ramekins from water; let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hour to two days. Blot any excess moisture off the top before caramelizing.
Caramel Glaze:
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup water.
Place a bowl filled with cold water near the stove. Put the sugar into a small heavy saucepan. Drizzle the water over the top.
Over medium heat, without stirring, swirl the pan until a clear syrup forms. The syrup needs to clarify before it boils, so keep a close eye on it. Once it does, increase the heat to high, and bring the syrup to a rolling boil over high heat. Cover the pan tightly and let boil two minutes. Uncover and cook until the syrup begins to darken. Swirl the pan until the syrup is amber. Dip the bottom of the pan in cold water to stop cooking and spoon a tablespoon of caramel over the custards, tilting to cover. If the caramel starts to get too dark, dip again in cold water. If it starts getting thick before you are done, reheat over low heat. Refrigerate about one hour or more, up to 8 hours.
