INSTRUCTIONS
* Orange blossom honey gives this recipe a special flavor but you can use
any honey you like.
TO PREPARE THE RAMEKINS: Heat a medium saut. pan, over high heat, or until
very hot. Add the 1/2 cup of honey and cook over medium heat until the
honey is a dark brown. Pour the honey into six 1/2 cup porcelain or
oven-proof ramekins. With a pot holder to protect your hands, tilt each
ramekin so the honey coats the bottom and sides. Preheat the oven to 350°
F.
TO MAKE THE FLAN: In a mixing bowl combine the eggs, half and half, 3
tablespoons honey and vanilla. Ladle this custard mixture into the prepared
ramekins and set the ramekins in a baking pan filled with enough hot water
to reach half way up the outside of the ramekins. Bake for an hour or until
the flans are set and no longer wobbly.
TO MAKE THE FRUIT GARNISH: While the flans are baking, core, peel and cut
the apples into 1/4-inch dice. Toss them with some lemon juice so they do
not discolor. Stem the strawberries and cut them into quarters.
TO FINISH THE FLANS AND GARNISH: Remove the baking pan from the oven and
remove the flans from the baking pan. In a 10-inch skillet over high heat,
heat the butter. When the butter turns golden brown, add the apples and
saut. over high heat for about a minute or until the apples take on some
color. Add the 2 teaspoons of honey and remove the skillet from the heat.
Toss in the strawberries and stir to combine. With a knife, loosen the
edges of the custards from the ramekins and turn each one, upside down, in
the middle of a dessert plate. Not all the caramelized honey will come out.
Spoon the apples and strawberries around the flan and set 3 blackberries
over the fruit. Garnish each flan with a sprig of mint.
