Sweet, Sweeter, Sweetest....

So moving along, I was thinking about something to make with apples - since its been quite cool in the island lately, its always windy but not a drop of rain anywhere (though from what I've heard back home its been pouring buckets hehe;p)...

I was really contemplating on either making an appetizer or a dessert... Jason was asking me what kind of amuse it was gonna be; and frankly I didn't even know which it was gonna be... I've been restricted to the fact that I know apples always goes well with pork, though sadly my kitchen doesn't carry any so I was thinking maybe chicken - but the thought made me think other wise. So off I went to the fountain area to get some frozen fruits and, I managed to get some cranberries & blueberries^^

Not Long everything was coming into the picture and I was leaning towards a dessert with the apples and this is what I got>>

I call it my Toffee'd Apple with Forest Fruit Compote

The apple slices were poached in coffee and caramelised in the oven to give it the sweet and 'burnt' texture, while the fruits, I've basically made a nice compote with it^^
Initially I was quite happy with the presentation though, I wished I didn't quenelled the cream - it kinda sticks out-_-... And I should've tasted the compote - Jason was the first to go grab a glass of water as it was extremely sweet; though after the sugar rush, I reckon if the dish was served cold, it would've been fine^^



Oh well, its still trail & error, I'm planning on re-working this dish, its piqued my interest if you might say^^
