Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
1/3 cup apricot jam |
2 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
3 cups blueberries (14 ounces) |
1/8 teaspoon almond extract |
1 qt vanilla ice cream |
Directions:
1. Line a large baking sheet with foil, then lightly oil foil.
2. Cook sugar with salt in a dry 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar is melted into a deep golden caramel. Immediately remove from heat and stir in almonds with a wooden spoon, then quickly pour onto baking sheet, spreading out mixture with back of spoon before it hardens.
3. Cool praline on baking sheet 5 minutes, then break into large pieces. Put praline pieces in a heavy-duty sealable plastic bag and break into smaller pieces with a rolling pin.
4. Bring jam, water, and lemon juice to a boil, stirring, over moderate heat. Add 1 1/2 cups blueberries and simmer until berries burst, 8 to 10 minutes. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups blueberries and simmer, stirring gently, just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract.
5. Top scoops of ice cream with warm blueberry sauce and praline.
