54ea64ebe3ec2_-_apple-desserts-cardamom-cakes-0610-n2itbz-lgPear-Cardamom Cakes with Perry Icing

 

Total Time:   1hr
Serves:   24

 

Ingredients

  • 2¼ cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground cardamom
  • 2 eggs
  • 1½ caster sugar
  • 1½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Pear Sauce
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 tbsp. butter, melted
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1½ tsp. lemon zest
  • 1½ cup peeled and chopped Beurre Bosc Pears
  • 1¼ cup icing sugar
  • 3 tbsp. Perry – we recommend ‘The Berg’ by Paracombe Premium Perry

 

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Butter and flour two 12-cup cupcake tins and set aside.
  2. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, and cardamom together and set aside.
  3. Beat the eggs and sugar together, using a mixer set on medium-high speed, until the mixture forms a thick ribbon when the beaters are lifted from the bowl.  Reduce speed to low and mix in the vanilla and pear sauce.  Add 1/2 cup of the melted butter, sour cream, and zest and beat until combined.  Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until smooth.
  4. Fold in the pears and divide the batter among the prepared molds (about 1/4 cup per mold).  Bake until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake tests clean — 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan on a wire rack.  Unmold the cakes and cool completely on the rack.
  6. Stir the remaining melted butter, icing sugar and Perry together in a medium bowl until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cakes and let the icing set before serving.

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.  Place the turkey breast, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Slice turkey breast and serve with gravy.

Foodie Friday! Pumpkin and Perry Oatmeal Cream Pies

Pumpkin and Perry Oatmeal Cream Pies

 

Total Time:  34mins (20mins Prep, 14mins Cook)Pumpkin-Apple-Cider-Oatmeal-Cream-Pies
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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line cookie sheets with grease proof 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 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.
  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 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.
  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 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.
  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.
