BALSAMIC, ORANGE, HONEY, MAPLE SYRUP GLAZED DUCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 190c.
• Mix all the ingredients (except the duck!) together in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Reserve 1/4 of the glaze.
• Sit the duck on a rack over a baking dish, baste and place in oven.
• Baste the duck every 10 minutes throughout the cooking process with remaining 3/4 of glaze.
• A 2kg duck should take about 1 hour 15 minutes to cook, but give one of his legs a pull, and if it moves freely and any juices run clear, your duck will be cooked.
• Place on a serving platter brush with reserved glaze and serve.
• Pass any remaining reserved glaze to be spooned over carved duck.

ORANGE HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan combine the honey, the orange juice, the water, and the zest and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until it is reduced to 1 1/3 cups. (If the syrup is reduced too much, it becomes too thick and too sweet.) Stir in the Manto and let the syrup cool. The syrup may be made 1 week in advance and kept, covered, at room temperature.
• Makes about 1 1/3 cups

APRICOT YOGURT CAKE WITH ORANGE HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• Let the yogurt drain in a fine sieve set over a bowl, covered and chilled, overnight and measure out 1 cup of the drained yogurt, reserving the remaining yogurt for another use.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. and butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan. Into another bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and a pinch of salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in the 1 cup drained yogurt, beating until the mixture is just combined. Add the flour mixture, beat the batter until it is just combined, and stir in the apricots and the walnuts.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out with a few crumbs adhering to it. Put the cake in the pan on a rack set over foil, pour the orange honey syrup over it, and let the cake absorb the syrup. The cake may be made 2 days in advance and kept in the pan covered with plastic wrap and foil and chilled. Remove the side of the pan and garnish the cake with the mint sprigs.

BAKLAVA - ORANGE/POMEGRANATE HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• SYRUP: On Med-High heat add Sugar, 1/4 Cup of Water, Pomegranate syrup, orange juice, zest, and cinnamon stick in to a high sided sauce pan. Dissolve sugar and bring to light boil.
• Immediately add Honey and reduce to simmer (on low, or low-medium) for 10-20min. It will bubble up, but keep an eye on it. It should not get out of control if the fire isn't too high. Better a lower heat than a higher heat.
• Remove from heat, as in turn burner off and remove from burner too.
• Drip a few drops of syrup on counter/plate as it cooks and after it is removed from the heat. If it hardens when it cools (think REALLY sticky caramel), add reserved water until drops tests shows syrup can cool and be easily spread on the plate. Do NOT return to the heat before you add water!
• If the syrup then gets too watery, put it back and the stove until it's right!
• Strain into bowl - set aside to cool before pouring onto hot baklava.
• Note: By using honey you get the best flavor, but also the added benefit of stabilization - this syrup is hard to mess up unless you burn it! If you own a candy thermometer, try to keep it under the "thead" stage, or 230F - if you go over, thin it out with water AFTER you remove it from the heat.
• BUTTER: Clarify butter over low to med-low heat until all water has boiled away.
• Remove from heat and skim off milk solids. Set aside.
• You may "brown" butter slightly for added flavor (I do).
• Melt shortening if you run out of butter towards the end of the assembly process. The point is to dry the butter out (because it is 8% water), but shortening has far less to start - it won't kill anything to use butter flavored shorting either, it's a matter of opinion. Remember: Butter = better flavor. Shortening = better texture.
• FILLING: Pulse all Filling ingredients in food processor until largest pieces are no bigger than a pea - but not until all is powder.
• ASSEMBLY: Heat oven to 400°F.
• Prepare your pan (9x13 is great) with either parchment paper and/ butter or spray.
• Unwrap Phyllo and cut to the size of your pan (this makes it WAY easier!).
• Layer 10 sheets of Phyllo in this order: Butter, Phyllo, butter, Phyllo, butter, etc.
• Add 1/3 of nuts, another 6 layers of Phyllo then butter.
• Add 1/3 of nuts, another 6 layers of Phyllo then butter.
• Add 1/3 of nuts, then the last 8 layers of layers of Phyllo then remaining butter.
• I like to spoon on the butter first and then spread it with the brush, always working from the inside out. If a sheet breaks, just patch it up. If the Phyllo is too small, overlap another piece to form one layer - no stress!
• Cut baklava into pieces using a slim, sharp, smooth edged knife (e.g. boning or paring knife).
• In my 9"x13" I get 48 pieces by cutting the pan in 4 pieces lengthwise, then 6 pieces widthwise, then each square diagonally. Make sure to cut with a pulling motion in order to cut smoothly (no STABBING), this may mean stopping to turn the pan around.
• Bake in 400F degree oven for 15min, reduce heat to 300F and bake for another 40-55min, checking to make sure it only turns a pale brown.
• IMMEDIATELY after removing baklava from oven - while baklava is hot- ladle the syrup over the top. It will sputter but that is a good thing. Make sure to get in between all of the crevices and cuts.
• Let Baklava cool at least until room temperature before serving. Better yet, after it is room temperature (2-3 hours) cover it (yes, cover) and let it sit until you can't wait any longer (at least 8hrs)... serve!
• Store in air tight (yes, covered) container for up to 5 days. Some people think that covering it will make it go soggy. The truth is that air carries moisture and the longer something sits out in the air, the more moisture it attracts - especially SWEETS because sugar and honey absorbed tons of moisture. The less air is sees, the better - until service that is!

NECTARINES, STRAWBERRIES AND MELON IN ORANGE-HONEY SPICED SYRUP

Steps:

• Using vegetable peeler, remove peel (orange part only) from oranges. Set peel aside (reserve oranges for another use).
• Combine 2 cups water, honey, star anise and cinnamon stick in medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to boil, stirring to dissolve honey. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid is reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in reserved orange peel. Cool syrup. Strain into large bowl; discard solids. (Can be made 1 day ahead; chill.)
• Using melon baller, scoop out enough fruit from melon to equal 4 cups. Combine melon balls, nectarines and strawberries in large bowl. Add syrup; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours and up to 8 hours.
• Ladle fruit mixture into bowls. Garnish with orange peel strips, if desired.

CARDAMOM YOGURT PUDDING WITH ORANGE AND CINNAMON HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• Whisk together yogurt, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Put water in a very small saucepan and tilt pan so that water is on one side, then sprinkle gelatin and cardamom evenly over water. Let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat mixture over low heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved, about 30 seconds. Whisk hot gelatin into yogurt until combined well. Pour yogurt into ramekin and chill, covered, until set, about 1 1/2 hours.
• While yogurt is chilling, cut peel and white pith from orange with a sharp knife. Working over a small bowl, cut segments free from membranes from half of orange, letting segments fall into bowl, then squeeze 1 tablespoon juice from remaining half of orange and, if necessary, from membranes.
• Bring orange juice, honey, and cinnamon to a simmer in cleaned very small saucepan, stirring, then simmer until reduced to about 1 tablespoon, about 1 minute. Add orange segments to syrup, gently stirring to coat. Cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Run a thin knife around edge of ramekin to loosen pudding, then dip ramekin into a bowl of hot water 30 seconds and invert pudding onto a plate. Spoon syrup over pudding and arrange orange around side.

LITTLE CARROT CAKES WITH ORANGE & HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and oil a 12-hole muffin tin, or line it with muffin cases. In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar, flour, bicarb, mixed spice and orange zest. Whisk together the eggs, oil and yogurt, then stir into the dry ingredients along with the grated carrots. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, or divide between the cases, if using, then bake for 20-22 mins until a skewer inserted in to the middle comes out clean. Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack and leave them to cool a little.
• Meanwhile, to make the syrup, heat the honey and orange juice in a pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for a minute until syrupy. Spoon a few tsp over each cake while still warm, then leave to cool completely. For the icing, mix the mascarpone, yogurt and icing sugar until just combined (if you over-mix, it will become runny). Use a palette or cutlery knife to swirl the icing on top of the cakes, drizzle with a little more honey, if you like, and decorate with edible flowers or orange zest.
