Recipes

Sloe Roast Lamb

INGREDIENTS

100ml Sloe Gin
Lean leg or shoulder of lamb
2 teaspoons of chopped mint
2 large red onions quartered
Tablespoon of olive oil

Method

Slash the surface of the joint and add mint into the slashes. Place the onion quarters in a roasting tin with the lamb on top. Drizzle over the olive oil and Sloe Gin. Cover with foil and cook in the oven at 160ºC / 325ºF / gas mark 3 for 2 ½ - 3 hours basting occasionally. Remove foil for last 30 minutes to brown the meat. While the meat is resting, use the juices from the pan to make into gravy.

Blood Orange Chocolate Truffles

INGREDIENTS

2 part Blood Orange Liqueur
250g good quality dark chocolate – chopped into pieces
284ml pot of double cream
50g unsalted butter

Method

Put the cream, and butter into a saucepan and gently bring to a simmer. Add the chopped pieces of chocolate into a large bowl and when the cream and butter is simmering pour over the chocolate – stir to mix and melt the chocolate. Add a couple of measures of Blood Orange Liqueur. Put the bowl in the fridge to fully harden and then with a melon baller dipped in water scoop out the balls. Place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper and place in the fridge. These will keep in the fridge for 2 days and are excellent for presents.

Blood Orange Pancakes

INGREDIENTS

50ml Blood Orange Liqueur
2 pancakes per person - use your favourite recipe
3 tablespoons of caster sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
50g unsalted butter

Method

Make the pancakes as per your favourite recipe and fold into quarters. Put the caster sugar into a non-stick frying pan and heat over a low-medium heat until the sugar begins to melt without stirring, and continue to cook until it becomes a deep amber colour. Immediately slide the pan off the heat and add the pureed fruits – be careful as it may splatter and spit as it hits the hot caramel. Add the lemon juice, zest and Blood Orange Liqueur and return to the pan on a low heat to re-melt the caramel into the liquid. Add the butter to the sauce in small pieces, bring to the boil and simmer gently until glossy and slightly reduced. Add the pancakes to the pan and warm through. Serve immediately with some fresh berries to garnish.

Boozy Mess

INGREDIENTS

50ml Wild Strawberry Liqueur
1x400g of fresh strawberries
meringue nests, broken
142ml pot of double cream

Method

Break up the pieces of meringue with your fingers Whip the cream to thicken and then stir in the pieces of meringue and stir through. Chop up the strawberries and mix with the Wild Strawberry Liqueur. Add a layer of the cream and meringue in the bottom of each glass followed by the strawberry and liqueur combination followed by another layer of meringues and cream. Top with a fresh strawberry and more meringues.

Damson Pudding

INGREDIENTS

50ml of Damson Vodka
1kg of damsons
200g golden caster sugar
125g self raising flour
125-150ml milk
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted

Method

Heat the oven to 180ºC / 160 ºF fan / gas mark 4. Put the damsons in 4-6 ovenproof dishes (or one large dish) and sprinkle evenly with 150g of the sugar and pour over the Damson Vodka. Sift the flour and remaining sugar into a bowl with a pinch of salt. Whisk in enough milk and melted butter to make a thick, smooth mixture that will just fall off the spoon. Spoon big blobs over the damsons but don’t worry if the fruit is not completely covered – it will bubble through as it cooks. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden. Leave for 20 minutes before serving.

Pan Fried Venison with Damson Vodka

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons of Damson Vodka
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 thick venison steaks
150ml beef stock
2 tablespoons of redcurrant jelly
1 garlic cloves – crushed
85g fresh or frozen blackberries

Method

Heat the oil and gently fry the venison for 5 minutes, then turn over and cook for a few more minutes depending on how you like it cooked. Lift out the meat and leave to rest. Add the Damson Vodka to the pan and then pour in the beef stock, redcurrant jelly and garlic. Stir over quite a high heat to blend everything together, then add the blackberries and carry on cooking until they soften. Slice the venison and pour over the sauce.

Sloe belly of Pork

INGREDIENTS (SERVES 4-6)

1kg piece of boneless pork belly, skin scored and patted dry
1 tbsp sea salt flakes
4 red onions
1 head of iceberg lettuce
1 unwaxed lemon
200g thick Greek yoghurt
A pinch of sugar and sea salt

For the marinade

150ml Sloe gin
80g runny honey
2 tsp white pepper
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
200g redcurrants or mixed berries (frozen is fine), plus a handful to garnish

Method

Mix the marinade ingredients in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Place the pork in it carefully, making sure the marinade doesn’t touch the skin. Leave uncovered and place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight. When the marinating time is up, preheat the oven to 220ºC (fan). Pat the skin of the pork dry with kitchen towel. Place on a tray, setting the marinade to one side, and use a blow-dryer for 2-3 minutes to remove all the excess moisture from the skin. Rub the skin thoroughly with salt flakes, getting into the scoring. Peel the red onions, cut into quarters and place at the bottom of the roasting tin, then pour over the marinade and lay the pork belly skin side up on top. Roast for 30 minutes, then turn the heat down to 150ºC and roast for 2 ½ - 3 hours, or until very tender. Remove the pork from the oven. Take the onions out and set aside. Crank up the heat again to 220ºC and place the pork back in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy. Remove the pork from the oven. When cool enough to handle, separate the skin from the flesh. Slice the pork belly into slivers and chop the skin into small crouton-sized pieces. Cut the lettuce into thick slices, then wash and dry (keeping them whole). Finely zest the lemon and mix into the Greek yoghurt with the sugar and salt. Add a squeeze of lemon juice. To serve, place a large wedge of iceberg on a plate and top with the pork, onions, skin and berries. Drizzle with the yoghurt dressing.

125ml milk
zest 2 oranges
2 vanilla pods, split
140g golden caster sugar
1.2l double cream

20g of caster sugar

Method

Place the gelatine and milk in a pan, then leave it to one side to soak. Meanwhile, place the orange zest, vanilla pods and sugar in a pan. Add 800ml of the cream, then bring to the boil. Simmer until the mixture is reduced by one-third. While the cream is reducing, remove the gelatine from the milk, set aside, then warm the milk. When it is warm, add the soaked gelatine and stir until completely dissolved. Add to the warm cream, pass through a sieve, then leave to cool. Lightly whip the remaining cream, then fold into the setting mixture. Pour the mixture into a 1-litre pudding bowl, then place in the fridge to set for at least 5 hrs. Whilst the Panna Cotta is in the fridge, make the strawberry Liqueur. Put the strawberries, wild strawberry liqueur and sugar into a bowl and simmer until the strawberries are soft. Cool and whizz to a sauce. Take the panna cotta out of the fridge, slide a knife around the edge of the bowl and dip very briefly in hot water to loosen. Tip the panna cotta into the middle of a plate. Spoon over the coulis.
