Spiced Cranberry Duck

Spiced Cranberry Duck may sound a bit fancy, and is a bit out of the ordinary, but it’s also ready in a flash -duck doesn’t need or want long cooking- and one of the seasonal lunches one can treat oneself to when one works from home! 

Ingredients (serves 2):

2 tablespoons duck fat

4 duck drumsticks

1 small onion

1 heaped teaspoon Mixed Spice

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1 cup fresh cranberries, rinsed

1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

4 tablespoons Cinnamon Syrup

1/2 cup water

Melt one tablespoon duck fat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add duck drumsticks, skin-side down and brown, 2 minutes. Brown duck drumsticks on their other side, and transfer to a plate; set aside.

Peel and finely chop onion, and add to the skillet. Sauté, a couple of minutes. Stir in Mixed Spice and cook, one minute more. Deglaze with apple cider vinegar. Add remaining duck fat. When melted, stir in 3/4 cup of the cranberries, and cook, stirring often until they start popping. Return duck drumsticks to the skillet, and season with fleur de sel and black pepper. Drizzle with Cinnamon Syrup, and stir to combine. Stir in water. Cover with the lid, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, a dozen of minutes. Remove the lid and stir in remaining cranberries. Cook until they pop, a couple of minutes.

Serve Spiced Cranberry Duck hot, with Brussels sprouts or other greens.

Orchard Christmas Pies

I know what you’re thinking. Christmas pies, in September? She’s completely lost the plot. Well, it’s fair to say it has been and still is a very unusual year; so why the fuck not? Also, I still hadn’t watch the last episode of The Great Kiwi Bake Off (which aired in December), what with that sudden Holiday living room and dining room reno! Then the parents returned to Laos, and we got back to work, and a pandemic broke out... So, I saved it, because it’s the kind of heartwarming programme you want to watch when you need comfort. But if new series of Bake Offs are about to start, I have challenges to complete! So, I watched the Signature Bake, mini Christmas Pies, and made these lovely Orchard Christmas Pies, with apples and pears from the garden, home-brewed cider and spices. I’m not too fond of mince pies, but I might make these again, when it really is Christmastime!

Ingredients (makes 8):

1 large Ribston Pippin Apple

1 medium Williams Pear

1 tablespoons dried cranberries

1 tablespoon Cinnamon Sugar

1/4 teaspoon Mixed Spice

2 tablespoons Cider (Brut)

90 grams/3 ounces Thyme Shortcrust Pastry

Peel and core Ribston Pippin apple, and cut into small dices. Peel and core Williams pear, and cut into small dices, as well.

In a small bowl, combine apple and pear dices, Cinnamon Sugar, Mixed Spice and Cider. Give a good stir. Leave at room temperature, stirring occasionally, at least half an hour.

Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.

Roll out Thyme Shortcrust Pastry thinly onto a lightly floured surface. Using a fluted 6.5 cm/2.5” biscuit cutter, cut out 8 Pastry circles. Fit each circle into the cups of a mini-pie silicon mould. Prick the base with a fork. Blind bake, 5 minutes, at 200°C/395°F. Remove from the heat; let cool sligthy.

Meanwhile, roll out Pastry scraps, and cut out 8 stars with a small star-shaped biscuit cutter. Set aside.

Spoon a heaped tablespoon apple and pear mixture into each Pastry case. Top with Pastry stars, and brush with a little Cider and spices liquid. Return to the oven. Bake, a further 20 minutes, at 200°C/395°F.

Serve Orchard Christmas Pies warm or cooled, with a cuppa or a glass of Cider.

Sugar & Spice & Salt Are So Nice! They Make Food & Parties Much Better

Sugar & Spice & Salt Are So Nice! They Make Food & Parties Much Better

As a child, I remember a little rhyme that started out with “sugar and spice and everything nice…” You probably heard it too. These days the gender-defining rhyme might not sit well with as many people. However, sugar, spices, and salt are everything nice when it comes to food and drinks. It’s incredible how much of a difference high-quality and innovative salts, spices and sugars can make to…

Mixed Spice

Whether you want to make yourself a Pumpkin Spice Latte, a decadent Pumpkin White Hot Chocolat, or bake Christmas treats (last Sunday was Stir-Up Sunday!), this is the season for Mixed Spice. I prefer making my own, using whole cloves and nutmeg, as I feel it has more flavour, and also, it sort of opens the festive season!

Ingredients (makes about 1/4 cup):

30 cloves

nutmeg

1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

In a mortar, thoroughly grind cloves with the pestle until you have a fine enough powder. Grate in about 1 teaspoon nutmeg. Add cinnamon and ginger, and grind all the spices together to mix them well. 

Spoon Mixed Spice into a jar and close tightly.
