Foodie Friday! Soft Perry Caramels

Soft Perry CaramelsBequet Apple Cinnamon Caramels A120911 Food & Wine Gift Guide + LG Format 12/2012

 

Cooking Time:  1hr 45mins
Preparation Time:   1hr
Makes:  150

 

Ingredients

  • 1.9L Perry, we recommend ‘The Triumph’ by Paracombe Premium Perry
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 cups sugar
  • ¾ cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground allspice
  • 1 pinch ground cloves
  • Neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed

 

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, simmer the Perry over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1 cup, about 1 hour. Pour the reduced Perry into a bowl.
  2. Line a 9 x 13 inch rimmed pan with foil and coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.  In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and condensed milk and bring to a simmer over moderate heat; keep the mixture warm over low heat.
  3. In another large saucepan, combine the sugar with the reduced Perry, corn syrup, water & salt and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.  Carefully whisk in the butter until melted. Gradually whisk in the warm cream mixture until incorporated.  Cook over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until a golden caramel forms and the temperature reaches 245 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 45 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon, allspice & cloves and scrape the caramel into the prepared pan.  Let cool completely, then refrigerate the caramel overnight.
  4. Lightly brush a sheet of parchment paper with oil.  Invert the caramel onto the parchment and peel off the foil.  Using a sharp knife, cut the caramel into 1-inch-wide strips, then cut the block crosswise into 1/2-inch rectangles.  Wrap each caramel in a square of parchment paper or a candy wrapper and twist the ends to seal. Serve or pack the caramels into boxes.

Foodie Friday! Pumpkin and Perry Oatmeal Crème Pies

Pumpkin and Perry Oatmeal Crème Pies

 

Preparation Time:   20minsPumpkin-Apple-Cider-Oatmeal-Cream-Pies
Cooking Time:   14mins
Serves:  10

 

Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) 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
  • 227g reduced fat cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons Perry syrup (recipe below)
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 3 cups icing sugar

For the apple cider syrup:

  • ⅓ cup Perry – we recommend ‘The Berg’ by Paracombe Premium Perry

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line cookie trays with baking paper.
  2. 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.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
  4. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined.  Fold in the cinnamon chips.
  5. Drop 2-tablespoon-sized heaps onto the baking paper lined cookie trays 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 trays until firm enough to move to a cooling rack.  Repeat with as many batches as necessary.
  6. As the cookies cook, make the crème.
  7. 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 cider 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 cider syrup will stay good in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 1 week.
  8. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy.
  9. Beat in the Perry syrup and 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice.
  10. 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.)
  11. Scoop the crème 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Serve immediately or refrigerate.  The cookies will stay fresh for up to a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Foodie Friday! Chocolate and Pear Tart

Chocolate and Pear Tart

 

Preparation Time:   30minschocolate-and-pear-tart-21514_l
Cooking Time:   40mins
Serves:  4

 

Ingredients

 

Instructions

  1. Process 55g (1/4 cup) caster sugar, cocoa and pecans in a food processor until pecans are finely ground.  Add chocolate, 60g butter and egg, and process until mixture forms a paste.
  2. Preheat oven to 220C and line an oven tray with baking paper.  Place pastry on tray.  Using a 24cm cake pan as a guide, cut out a 24cm round from pastry.  Place a 21cm cake pan in the centre of the round, and, using it as a guide, score a 21cm round in pastry to create a border.  Freeze tart base until needed.
  3. Quarter pears, then core and cut lengthwise into 3mm-thick slices.  Place flour, remaining 1 tablespoon caster sugar and pears in a bowl.  Spoon over the vanilla, then, using your hands, toss to coat.
  4. Spread chocolate mixture over pastry within scored round.  Place similar-sized pieces of pear, tightly overlapping, over chocolate mixture (you will have some leftover pear).  Melt the remaining 20g butter and brush over the pears.  Bake tart for 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 190C and bake, covering loosely with foil if the pastry is over-browning, for a further 25 minutes or until pastry is dark golden and puffed.  Set tart aside for 10 minutes to cool.
  5. Dust tart heavily with icing sugar, then, using a kitchen blowtorch, caramelise pears.  Serve the tart warm or at room temperature with double cream.
