Yeah, so? Five minutes of work. It may well not
have been any better, but it certainly would have
cost less.

Yeah, I guess... And I could have had you make it a lemon-garlic
marinade, which is what I was really hoping to find instead of the teriyaki.... another time, maybe... :)

I'm kind of allergic to paying anyone, even Weggie's,
to make what I can make faster, cheaper, and/or better.

Whatever, the dish tasted pretty good, and the teriyaki
added a not unpleasant sweetness to the dish. I don't
recall if there was any starch to go with this - if so,
I didn't have any of it.

Nope, didn't fix any starch to go with... at home it might have been microwaved frozen brown rice, or a slice of bread to mop up the
juices... I figured for the picnic the starch was less needed... ;)

Or needed at all.

Some might have needed it, or thought they did... ;)

Bread could be had for those who needed it.

Would have been an okay experiment for me, as I don't have
experience. If somebody had reminded me, it could have
happened.

Guess we all were easily distracted... :)

There was plenty to do without an air fryer!

Title: Gateau de mousse a la nectarine
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 1 servings

Nectarine mousse: Peach syrup:
1 1/2 lb Nectarines 1/4 c Sugar
1/2 c Sugar 1/3 c Peach schnapps
5 ts Unflavored gelatin Peach glaze:
1/4 c Lemon juice 1 1/4 ts Unflavored gelatin
1/4 c Peach schnapps 3/4 c Peach preserves or jam
1 1/2 c Heavy cream, well chilled 3 tb Peach schnapps
Genoise cake (see recipe)

Halve, pit, and chop nectarines and, in a heavy saucepan, combine them
with
sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring, and cook it at a
slow
boil, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. In a food processor, puree
the mixture and force it through a fine sieve into a large bowl, pressing
hard on the solids.

In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over the lemon juice and schnapps,
let it soften for 5 minutes, then heat mixture over low heat, stirring,
until gelatin has dissolved. Stir gelatin into nectarine puree, blending
the mixture well. Let it cool to room temperature.

In a chilled bowl, beat the cream until it holds soft shapes, (not as
stiff
as soft peaks) and fold it into the nectarine mixture.

Trim the Genoise and cut it into three layers, horizonally.

Peach Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water.
Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and stir in the
schnapps. Let the syrup cool to room temperature. Assembly: Center one
layer in the bottom of a 9-1/2-inch springform pan and brush with half
the
peach syrup. Pour half the mousse over the cake and top it with another
layer of Genoise. Brush with the remaining peach syrup and pour the
remaining mousse over the cake, rapping on the side of the pan to expel
any
air bubbles and smoothing the surface. Chill for 2 hours, or until it is
set.

Peach Glaze: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 3 Tbsp cold water
and let it soften for 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, combine the
preserves and schnapps, bring mixture to a boil, stirring, and simmer it
for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat, add gelatin mixture, stirring until
gelatin is dissolved, and strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a
bowl, pressing hard on the solids.

Assembly: Pour all but about 2 Tbsp of Peach Glaze over top of the
mousse cake, covering it completely, and chill the cake for 2 hours, or
until glaze is set.

While cake is chilling, in a food processor, grind the remaining Genoise
layer into fine crumbs. Toast the crumbs in a jelly-roll pan in a
preheated 350f oven for 5-8 minutes or until they are golden. Reserve.

Cut half the nectarine into thin slices, and arrange them decoratively on
top of the cake in a pinwheel pattern. Brush the remaining glaze over
the
nectarine slices and chill the cake, covered, for 1 hour, or until the
newly applied glaze is set.

Run a thin knife around the edge of the pan and remove the side of the
pan.
Working over a sheet of wax paper, coat sides of cake with the cake
crumbs.

Let cake stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

It does make a difference when you can make it faster, cheaper and/or
better... I'm not so confident in my abilities there... ;)

True... there was plenty of that... :)

Indeed. :)
