Riesling:

(REESE ling)—a grape that comes mostly from the Mosel and Rheingau regions of Germany (where it is a noble variety), the Finger Lakes region of New York, and Alsace region of France, and Austria. Although often thought of as “sweet,” many Rieslings are quite dry. The word trocken on German bottles indicates dryness. The trademarks of Riesling are high acidity, low to medium alcohol levels, and aromas and flavors that range from fruity and flowery to mineral. Also called Johannesburg Riesling or White Riesling.


Pfalz:

Pfalz is the second largest wine region in Germany after Rheinhassen. Pfalz vineyards are grown on mixture of sandstone. Production of wine is split 60 percent white versus 40 percent red wine. The climate in Pfalz is much like that in Alsace and is by far the sunniest, driest German wine region.

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.
