Balsamic Glazed Fruits (Kopie)
Ingredients
Serves: Yield: about 4 cups
5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 large pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 8 wedges
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 bay leaves
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Measure 2 tablespoons lemon juice into a large nonreactive bowl. Add the fruit to the bowl and toss to coat.
Melt the butter over medium heat in a nonreactive roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Cook until it stops foaming and turns light brown. Add the rosemary, bay leaves, vinegar, remaining lemon juice, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, stir well until the sugar has melted, and simmer until slightly reduced.
Season the cut fruit with a pinch of salt and pepper and pour into the roasting pan. Stir well until evenly coated.
Spread the fruit into a single layer and place in the oven. Let cook slowly about 6 hours, turning the pieces over every hour for at least the first 3 hours. To test whether the fruit is ready, remove a piece after 2 hours and let cool for a few minutes. Taste to see if the flavor is intense enough for your palate. Do not let the fruit get as dry as a fruit leather. It should still be moist and flexible. Remove any pieces that are done before the rest. Remove from the oven, let cool completely, and store in a tightly sealed container. Refrigerate if not consumed within 2 days. Let come to room temperature or warm gently before serving if refrigerated. The fruit will keep a week or more in the refrigerator.
