Germany:

The northernmost wine-producing country in Europe, Germany’s cool climates are mostly suitable for white grapes. The best vineyards are situated along rivers such as the Rhine and the Mosel, which temper the extremes of weather and help the grapes ripen. German wines are named after the places they come from, usually a combination of a village name, a vineyard name, and a grape name. German law makes no distinctions of quality between vineyards. As a result, many wines are mass-produced. Look for the classification QbA or QmP to assure that the grower is reputable. The finest wines are given a Prädikat, which is an indication of the ripeness of the grapes at harvest. There are six levels of Prädikat; in order from the least ripe to the ripest they are Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese (BA) Eiswein, and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). At the three highest levels, the amount of sugar in the grapes is so high that the wines are inevitably sweet, but since Prädikat is an indication of the amount of sugar in the grape at harvest (and not in the wine) the lower levels of Prädikat offer no direct hint about the wine’s sweetness.

Lemon Raspberry Tartlets

Rated

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, or spray oil
6 egg roll wrapper
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 tbsp plus 1 tsp cornstarch (7 tsp in all)
2 eggs
2 egg white(or another egg)
1 ½ cup lemon juice
1-1/2 tbsp finely grated fresh lemon zest
2 pt Raspberries
2 tablespoon confectioner's sugar, for sprinkling

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare the tartlet shells: Lightly spray the tartlet pans with spray oil (or brush with melted butter).

Use the eggroll wrappers to line the pans, pushing the dough into the ridges in the sides. Trim off the excess with scissors. Lightly spray the insides of the tartlet shells with oil or brush with butter. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes, or as needed. Transfer the shells to a wire rack to cool.

The tartlets can be made ahead to this stage, but they must be assembled at the last minute. Store the shells in an airtight container, and the filling in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, prepare the lemon filling: Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a mixing bowl and whisk to mix. Whisk in the eggs and egg whites. Bring the lemon juice and lemon zest to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Whisk this mixture in a thin steam into the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the pan and bring to a boil, whisking steadily.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute or until thickened. Transfer the lemon mixture to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.

Not more than 5 minutes before serving, spoon the lemon filling into the crusts. Arrange the fresh raspberries on top and sprinkle the tartlets with confectioners' sugar. Serve at once.
