Spiced Apple Cider Soup with Sweet Potato Dumplings, Quince, and Dates

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts apple cider 9 McIntosh apples, coarsely chopped 5 Gala apples, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons peeled and chopped fresh ginger 1 1/2 tablespoons black peppercorns, cracked 1 1/4 tablespoons mace 1 tablespoon whole cloves, cracked 2 cinnamon sticks or 1 tablespoon Saigon cinnamon 5 star anise, cracked 2 medium or 1 large sweet potatoes 2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more, for roasting 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 large egg 3 tablespoons sugar 2 cups sugar 10 star anise, cracked 1 vanilla bean 2 fresh quince, peeled 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil 6 tablespoons pine nuts 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt 6 fresh dates, pitted and cut into slivers 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped into soft peaks

Directions

Prepare the Spiced Apple Cider: In a large pot, combine apple cider, apples, ginger, peppercorns, mace, cloves, cinnamon, and star anise. Bring to a simmer; cook until apples break down, about 2 hours. Allow to cool overnight; pour through a strainer lined with cheesecloth.

Prepare the Sweet Potato Puree: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wrap sweet potatoes in parchment-lined aluminum foil, and place over a bed of salt on a baking sheet; bake until soft, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Allow to cool.

Using a spoon, remove flesh into a bowl, and stir in 2 teaspoons of salt. Pass through a food mill, fitted with a fine disc, into a medium bowl. You’ll need 1 cup of puree for the dumplings.

Form a well in center of puree. Add flour, egg, and sugar; mix until incorporated. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip; set aside.

Prepare the Poached Quince: In a medium saucepan, combine 6 cups water, sugar, star anise, and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to a simmer. Add quince, and cover with a parchment paper round; weight with a small heatproof plate to keep the quince submerged. Poach until tender, testing with a knife, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool.

When completely cooled, remove quince, and cut in half lengthwise. Discard poaching liquid. Remove core, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.

Prepare the Fried Pine Nuts: Heat grapeseed oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat; add pine nuts, and toss continuously until browned. Add sugar and salt, tossing to coat. Drain on a paper towel. Allow to cool.

Just before serving, reheat Spiced Apple Cider. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; squeeze 1/2-inch long tubes of sweet potato mixture into water. Poach for 1 minute.

Meanwhile, divide quince and dates among six warmed serving bowls. Place a dollop of whipped cream on one side of each bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove poached dumplings and place over fruit; ladle warm cider into bowl opposite the cream. Serve immediately.
