Timbale Montmorency (Brioche Timbale of Cherries in Redcurrant Jelly)
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- brioche
- apricot cooked to the thread
- feuilletage (puff paste)
- stoned cherries
- light syrup
- raspberried redcurrant jelly
Instructions
- Bake a brioche in a ribbed mould, of a size in proportion to the importance of the timbale.
- When it is quite cold, remove the crumb from the inside, leaving a thickness of one and a half centimetres all round and in the bottom.
- Brush the outside with apricot cooked to the thread.
- Bake small shapes of feuilletage blind in a slow oven — crescents, lozenges, small rounds and the like — and decorate the timbale with them.
- Cook the stoned cherries in a light syrup and bind them with raspberried redcurrant jelly.
- At the moment of serving, pour this garnish into the timbale.
