Supremed Citrus Dessert

Supremed Citrus Dessert

This  Supremed Citrus Dessert is the perfect ending to a delicious dinner. I know that there is always room for dessert but sometimes you just don’t want to eat a heavy chocolate mousse. What is so amazing about this fruit concoction is the ease of supreming the citrus.  You peel the the citrus, separate the segments and soak it overnight in a bowl of water with a few squirts of pectinase. It saves so much time and produces a beautiful whole shiny citrus segment. This idea is not my own.  I learned this method from Chef Steps  a while ago but only recently got around to buying the pectinase from Modernist Pantry.  I really like to use fruits that are in season because they have so much more flavor and this is exactly the time to be using citrus. I took the supremed oranges and added some pomegranate juice and a bit of triple sec and it transformed the already delicious oranges.

I wish I could say this idea was mine but my friends Norman and Bianca Letow served this for dessert  ( hand supremed)  a bunch of years ago  when I was at their house for dinner.  I’ve just been too lazy to spend the time supreming with a knife. This dessert is very refreshing and is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. I recommend using the best quality citrus you can find and experimenting with all kinds.   You can buy pectinase at Modernist Pantry.  See the pictures below and watch the video at Chef Steps for step by step instructions.
