Description
This compote makes a lovely (and low-fat) dessert on its own, but the addition of ice cream and won ton strips makes it something special.
Ingredients
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blackberries, halved lengthwise if large
1 cup quartered strawberries
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon crème de cassis or Chambord liqueur
1/4 cup sugar
1 to 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
8 won ton wrappers, thawed if frozen, cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Garnish: confectioners sugar for dusting
Directions
Combine berries in a large bowl. Heat wine, crème de cassis, and sugar in a small heavy saucepan, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, then pour over berries. Toss gently and let stand 10 minutes.
Heat 1/2 inch oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat until a won ton strip sizzles when added. Fry strips in 2 or 3 batches, stirring gently with a slotted spoon, until golden, about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
