Cranberry Orange And Red Wine Marmalade Food

CRANBERRY RED WINE RELISH

Steps:

• Combine sugar with red wine in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the cranberries, cinnamon stick and orange peel. Bring the mixture back to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring often, for 10 to 15 minutes, until most of the cranberries have burst.
• Remove from heat, allow relish to cool slightly, and spoon into sterilized glass jelly jars with tight-fitting lids. Store in refrigerator.

ORANGE-CRANBERRY MARMALADE

Steps:

• Cut off both ends of the zested orange, and cut orange in half. Peel halves and remove the white core.
• Place orange sections and cranberries in a food processor. Pulse until orange is mostly pulp, using roughly 5 three-second pulses.
• Combine the orange-cranberry mixture, zest, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes. Let marmalade cool.
• Pour marmalade into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Chill completely in refrigerator before serving.

CRANBERRY ORANGE JAM (MARMALADE)

Steps:

• Wash the oranges and using a fruit peeler, peel off the outer most layer of the oranges. Try to peel just the outer orange layer, leaving the white pith behind. Slice the peel into thin strips, no longer than 1-inch long. It's okay if you have smaller strips. Place the strips in a maslin pan.
• Peel the white pith from the oranges and discard. Cut the oranges in half. Remove any seeds. Squeeze the juice from the orange halves into the maslin pan. Tie the squeezed orange halves into a muslin cloth and place in the maslin pan.
• Add the water into the maslin pan. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes, occasionally prodding the muslin bag and stirring the orange peel strips, until the orange peel strips have softened. You'll keep the muslin bag cooking in the jam pot until the end.
• Wash the cranberries and add them into the pan. Add in the apple juice. Bring the pan to a boil again, and cook for about 10 minutes, until all the cranberries have popped and have broken apart. If any cranberries remain whole, use a spatula and lightly press the cranberry against the side of the pot until it "pops".
• Add in the zest and juice from the 2 limes and the sugar. Bring to a roiling boil, scraping the bottom of the pan frequently to avoid the jam from sticking and burning, until the setting point is reached. The setting point is 220°F / 104.5°C. See notes if you do not have a thermometer.
• As soon as the setting point is reached, remove the pan from the heat and leave it to stand for a few minutes. Remove the muslin bag. Gently stir the jam and transfer the jam into warm, sterilized jars (see notes). Seal the jars immediately. Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or process the jars in a boiling water canner or pressure canner.

GRILLED DUCK BREASTS WITH RED WINE AND ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare the red wine and orange sauce.
• Combine the orange juice and honey in a large skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a syrup, about 15 minutes.
• Add the vinegar, stir to combine, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the wine, raise the heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reduces by half (8 to 10 minutes). Add the chicken stock and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture reduces to a syrupy consistency, and there is about 1-1/2 cups of liquid remaining (10 to 15 minutes).
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the pumpkin pie spice, season with salt and pepper to taste and stir to incorporate. Add the butter and gently swirl with a wooden spoon until incorporated and the sauce takes on a satiny gloss. Keep the sauce war, over very low heat.
• To prepare the duck breasts:.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully remove about one-third of the fatty skin from the surface of each breast. With the tip of the knife, score the fat with a crosshatch design, being careful not to cut through to the meat. Spread the oil evenly over the duck breasts, then sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the spice mixture over each breast, a teaspoon on the fatty side and a teaspoon on the other side, and press the spices into the surfaces.
• Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Place the duck breasts, skin side down, in the skillet, lower the heat just a notch to medium-low and cook for 7-8 minutes, until the skin is crisply browned. Spoon out the excess fat from the pan as it is rendered. Turn the breasts and cook 3-4 minutes, until the meat on the opposite side is lightly browned. Transfer the breasts to a cutting board and set aside to rest for 5 minutes; they will continue to cook while resting.
• Using a sharp carving knife, cut the duck breasts in half crosswise, then cut each half into 1/4 inch slices. Divide among six warmed serving plates, arranging the slices fat side up. Spoon the sauce over the duck and serve.
