Macerate
Word to the Wise: Macerate
To “macerate” (MAS-uh-rate) - from the Latin for “weaken” - is to soften or flavor a fruit, usually by soaking it in liquid. It’s similar to marinating meat.
Example - as used in this recipe: Macerate 5 cups of mixed fresh berries in 1 tablespoon of sugar, 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons of Grand Marnier. Cover and refrigerate at least two hours, stirring occasionally. Serve over vanilla ice cream or with plain yogurt.
