Fried Beer Batter-Coated Strawberries
4 Servings
APRICOT SAUCE
1/4 c apricot jam
1/2 Tbsp dark rum
FRIED BEER BATTER-COATED STRAWBERRIES
2 quarts pure olive oil, for frying
2/3 c white flour
2/3 c beer
1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
16 large strawberries
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
TO PREPARE:
For the sauce, bring apricot jam, rum, and 1/4 cup water to boil in a small nonreactive saucepan. Simmer to blend flavors, about 4 minutes; cover and keep sauce warm.
TO COOK:
For the strawberries, heat oil in a Dutch oven or electric deep fryer to 365F. Mix flour, beer, and sugar in a small bowl. Dip each strawberry in this batter just before placing it in the hot oil. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, fry strawberries until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain strawberries on paper towels.
TO SERVE:
Dust strawberries with confectioners’ sugar and serve immediately with Apricot Sauce.
