James Martin's mixed berry gratin recipe
- 50 g (1.8oz) Raspberries
- 50 g (1.8oz) Strawberries
- 50 g (1.8oz) Blackberries
- 50 g (1.8oz) Blueberries
- 50 g (1.8oz) Redcurrants
- 50 g (1.8oz) Blackcurrants
- 5 g (0.2oz) Fresh basil leaves
- 400 ml (14.1fl oz) Pomegranate juice
- 4 Egg yolks
- 30 g (1.1oz) Caster sugar
- 6 Basil leaves, finely shredded
- 100 ml (3.5fl oz) Pomegranate juice
- First place the 400ml pomegranate juice into a pan and reduce over a high heat until you are left with around 70ml and a syrup is formed and cool and set to one side.
- In a mixing bowl (heatproof) set over a pan of simmering water.
- Whisk the yolks, sugar and pomegranate juice with a balloon whisk until pale.
- The foam must be sufficiently thickened so that it won't break down on cooling.
- Remove from heat and cool until tepid.
- Arrange the fresh berries over the serving plates, mix in the finely shredded basil leaves into the sabayon then spoon over the berries, glaze either under the grill or with a blow torch.
- Finish with a little more basil leaves and a drizzle of the syrup and if you want a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
