Bay Cafe Pound Cake "Fries" with Raspberry
"Catsup"
1/4 loaf pound cake, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cardboard French fry container (ask politely
and you shall receive)
Cut pound cake slices in 1/4 inch strips. Arrange strips on a
toaster oven rack and toast until browned on top and bottom. Turn
strips and toast until remaining two sides are browned. Let cool,
then arrange in container.
Raspberry "Catsup"
1 (12 ounce) bag frozen raspberries, thawed,
or 2 cup fresh raspberries
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 empty catsup squeeze bottle
Place raspberries in a blender or food processor, and puree (add 1
or 2 tablespoons of water or lemon juice, if necessary, to
facilitate blending). Add sugar, one teaspoon at a time, to taste,
until tartness is gone. Place raspberry puree in a fine mesh
strainer over a bowl. Use a rubber spatula to force the puree
through the strainer. Discard the seeds and transfer the puree to
the squeeze bottle. Serve alongside "fries."
