CHOCOLATE-PUMPKIN SWIRL BREAD WITH MARMALADE BUTTER

Steps:

• For the marmalade butter: Mix the butter, marmalade, orange zest and sea salt together in a bowl until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving.
• For the swirl bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter, or spray with nonstick spray; set aside.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and fine salt in a medium bowl.
• Place the sugar and oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed until well combined (it'll look like wet sand), about 1 minute.
• Turn the mixer to medium speed and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce the speed to low, add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle. Add the flour mixture, and mix until just combined.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the batter.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold the chocolate into the batter until it's just swirled in. (Be careful not to fully incorporate the chocolate into the batter--you want a marbled effect.)
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake until the bread is browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool another 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the marmalade butter.

KUMQUAT MARMALADE BUTTER

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the granulated sugar and 2 cups water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to make sure the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the kumquats, and cover the fruit with a piece of parchment or a small plate to keep them submerged. Turn the heat to low, and cook about 25 minutes, until the kumquats are translucent. Drain the fruit, reserving the sugar syrup. When the kumquats have cooled, cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut halves lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
• Cream the butter and confectioners' sugar at medium-low speed in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until it's light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add all but 3 tablespoons of the candied kumquats. Add a tablespoon or two of the reserved syrup and a pinch of salt. Mix to combine, taste, and add more syrup if you like.

CARROTS WITH BACON & MARMALADE BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high and grill the bacon for 3-4 mins each side until crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Chop the bacon as finely as you can and combine well with the butter and marmalade. Will keep chilled for up to three days.
• Put the carrots in a pan and cover with boiling water. Boil for 5-6 mins until cooked but retaining some bite, then drain and tip into a bowl. Put slices of the butter on top, tossing until the butter has melted.

TERIYAKI SALMON WITH MARMALADE BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the marmalade butter by thoroughly combining the butter and marmalade - a stand mixer with a paddle is ideal. Roll the butter in parchment paper into a 1½" wide log and store in the refrigerator to harden.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger root and orange zest and cook two minutes.
• Add the soy sauce, wine, sesame oil and honey and cook until the alcohol has evaporated. Sniff the fumes to determine this. If the fumes irritate your nose, there is still alcohol present. Cool completely.
• Pour marinade over the salmon and refrigerate for at least two hours.
• Broil or grill the salmon for three minutes per side and top with the marmalade butter.
