Instructions
For the roasted berries
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Place cleaned berries in a large bowl. Add sugar, Cointreau, orange juice and orange zest and toss together.
Pour on a baking sheet and place in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the fruit is just softened. While berries are roasting, make the sabayon.
For the sabayon
Mix yolks and sugar to combine and become frothy.
Add wine, Cointreau, and salt.
Mix well and place over simmering water, making sure water is not touching the bottom of the yolk mixture. Constantly whisk the mixture to incorporate air and bring it to 160°F. The sauce will become thick. If unsure, check with an instant-read thermometer.
Remove sauce from heat.
To serve
Place prepared berries in individual serving dishes and top with a generous amount of sabayon sauce. If desired, brûlée the top by sprinkling on a little sugar and quickly torching or setting under the broiler.
