Lychee-Cranberry Salsa

Overview

Lychee-Cranberry Salsa combines two fruits that you don't normally see on the same continent, never mind in the same bowl — Far East lychees and New England cranberries. Ming uses this Lychee-Cranberry Salsa to make four delicious desserts — from a warm compote to popsicles. Confections include: Vanilla Ice Cream with Warm Lychee-Cranberry-Raspberry Compote, Lychee-Cranberry-Rasberry Granita, Popsicles and Ice Cubes, and a Lychee-Cranberry Shortcake. Then Ming pays a visit to cranberry farmer Gary Garretson of Slocum Gibbs Cranberry Company to see the techniques involved in both wet and dry harvesting. Back in the studio, pastry chef and dessert guru Gale Gand works her own magic using the Lychee-Cranberry Salsa to create a Frozen Passion Fruit Parfait.
