Beyond The Griddle - French Toast Sauce/Syrup Recipes

Blueberry sauce: Mix together 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a 2-quart saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Add 1 cup water and 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring often. Add another cup of blueberries and 1 tablespoon butter and continue cooking until butter is incorporated and sauce is heated through.


Strawberry sauce:
In a small saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, heat 2 cups fresh-sliced strawberries with 2 cups strawberry preserves until heated through.

Caramel sauce: Combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Cook over medium-low heat until the mixture turns golden brown. Reduce heat and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream until incorporated. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Apple syrup: In a small saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, combine 1/2 cup sugar with 4 teaspoons cornstarch and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir in 1 cup apple juice and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Cook for 2 more minutes; remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter.

Rum raisin syrup: In a small saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, cook 1 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons brown sugar over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons each maple syrup and dark rum. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of raisins and cook 1 minute longer. Keep warm until serving time.

Pineapple syrup: In a small saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, bring 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple juice to a boil. Add 1/2 cup butter and 2 cups sugar and boil for about 2 minutes. (Note: add shredded coconut to the French toast for added flavor).
