Perry Glazed Turkey Breast
Total Time: 2hrs 55mins (20mins Prep, 2hrs 35mins Cook)
Apple Cider Glazed Turkey Breast | TheNoshery.com #jcpCares #BH #ad
Serves: 6 – 8
Ingredients
2 – 2.5kg turkey breast
½ cup sage leaves, minced
1/4 cup butter
4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion
6 cloves garlic
2 cups Paracombe Premium Perry ‘The Berg’
1 tablespoon honey
Gravy
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons milk
¼ cup Paracombe Premium Perry ‘The Berg’ or chicken stock
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the turkey breast, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
- In a food processor, combine the butter, sage, salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. Process to make a paste. Gently loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers and smear half of the paste directly on the meat. Spread the remaining paste evenly on the skin. Cover and let sit overnight to marinade.
- In a sauce pan combine 1½ cups Perry with honey. Bring to a boil and let reduce to ½ cup. When it cools it will become a syrup.
- Pour ½ cup Perry into the bottom of the roasting pan. Brush the turkey breast with spiced apple cider glaze. Roast the turkey for 1¾ to 2 hours, turning half-way and basting again with glaze, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest and meatiest areas of the breast. If the skin is over-browning, tent with aluminum foil. When the turkey is done, transfer to a platter and cover with foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 – 20 minutes.
- While the turkey is resting strain the drippings into a sauce pan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk together. It will come together like a blob and the excess grease with remain separate. Carefully pour out the excess grease. Return to the burner and whisk in vinegar and milk, add Perry or chicken stock until you reach desired consistency.
- Slice turkey breast and serve with gravy.

Pumpkin and Perry Oatmeal Cream Pies
Total Time: 34mins (20mins Prep, 14mins Cook)
Makes: 10
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cinnamon chips
For the crème:
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 235mls reduced fat cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons Paracombe Premium Perry ‘The Berg’ syrup (recipe below)
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 cups icing sugar
For the Perry syrup:
- ⅓ cup Paracombe Premium Perry ‘The Berg’
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line cookie sheets with grease proof paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until creamy. Beat in the egg and then add the vanilla extract, maple syrup and pumpkin puree. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
- Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the cinnamon chips.
- Drop 2-tablespoon-sized heaps onto the grease proof lined cookie sheets with plenty of space to spread and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the cookie is still very, very soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets until firm enough to move to a cooling rack. Repeat with as many batches as necessary.
- As the cookies cook, make the crème.
- The creme requires Perry syrup, which is made by simply heating ⅓ cup of Perry in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil and then reducing it to a simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the Perry has reduced by half and coats the back of a spoon. It will thicken more after it is removed from heat, so don’t overdo it or you will wind up with candy rather than syrup. The Perry syrup will stay good in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 1 week.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy.
- Beat in the Perry syrup and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice.
- Mix in a cup of the icing sugar. When well-combined, mix in half of the flour. Then, mix in another cup of the icing sugar. Mix in the remaining flour. Mix in the remaining icing sugar. (Mixing in a bit at a time this way prevents chunks or unevenness.)
- Scoop the creme into a plastic freezer bag and cut off one of the bottom tips of the bag. Seal the top of the bag and squeeze the bag to pipe the crème.
- Pipe a generous amount of frosting on the underside of a cooled cookie and sandwich another cookie on top. Repeat until all of the cookies have been sandwiched.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate. The cookies will stay fresh for up to a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

- ¼ cup softened butter (4 tablespoons or half a stick)
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup heavy cream
- Enough butter to grease a 9×9-inch baking pan
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the glaze:
- 1 cup Paracombe Premium Perry ‘Mysterious One’
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- Vanilla Ice Cream, optional for serving
Instructions:
- Place the first cup of Perry on the stove and bring to a boil and boil until reduced to ¼ cup. Set aside to cool.
- Core and peel the pears and then cut each into 16 slices (fewer slices if using smaller pears). Have a bowl of water that has a whole lemon squeezed into it. Place pears into water and then onto a plate to dry and set aside. This will keep them from turning brown.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until well mixed.
- With the mixer running, add one egg at a time beating until smooth. Scrap sides and beat until light and fluffy, about three minutes.
- In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Measure out cream and add cooled reduced Perry to cream.
- With the mixer on low, alternate adding the flour mixture and the cream/perry mixture until well combined. Scrape sides and mix until smooth.
- Grease a 9X9 square pan liberally with butter and pour in the batter.
- Arrange the pears, outer edges up into the top of the batter.
- In a small bowl or cup, mix the sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the top of the cake and place in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the glaze.
- Place the second cup of Perry on the stove as before only reduce down to two tablespoons. Watch it that it doesn’t evaporate too far.
- Place the icing sugar in a small bowl and add the reduced Perry along with one tablespoon of milk or cream and stir. Add the last tablespoon of milk or cream a little at a time until desired consistency. It should be thick but runny enough to drizzle off the end of a spoon.
- When the cake comes out of the oven, cool to room temperature and cut into nine squares.
- Drizzle the glaze over each portion letting it run down the sides and serve.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
