Berry Broth

A fruit broth is simply a puree that has been thinned with water, sugar syrup, or lemon juice until it has a souplike consistency. I sometimes combine fruit broths with other liquids such as custard cream.

Fruit broths can be made a day or two in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator. Because some fruits contain a lot of pectin, the purees may set in the refrigerator and will need to be quickly whisked or whirled in the blender just before serving to get them to liquefy.
