10 Country Range Cloves

3  Country Range Bay leaves

75g Country Range Butter

1/2 Onion (finely diced)

Salt & Pepper

5. Season with salt and pepper and grate loads of fresh nutmeg
6. Serve with roast poultry or game

Ingredients

• 350 g Frozen raspberries
• 100 g Caster sugar
• 250 g Country Range Short crust pastry
• 175 g Country Range Panko breadcrumbs
• 225 g Country Range Salted butter
• 600 g Golden Syrup
• 75 ml Country Range Whipping cream
• 3 Large free-range eggs

Method

1. Bring the raspberries and sugar to a boil, turn down the heat and reduce by 2/3’s. Cool down and store in an air tight jar.
2. When the pastry is defrosted, lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the pastry to the thickness of a pound coin. Line a 20cm loose-bottomed tart case, gently pushing it into the edges and leaving any excess overhanging the sides.
3. Line the pastry with bling film and bake blind with rice for 25 minutes. Remove the rice and cling film, return it to the oven and cook for a further 10 minutes to ensure the pastry is cooked through and dried out. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
4. Turn the oven temperature down to 160C
5. Line the tart case with a layer of fresh raspberry jam
6. To make the filling, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat until it foams and turns nut brown. Add the syrup, take the pan off the heat and whisk to combine. Put the bread crumbs in a medium bowl and add the butter and syrup mixture.
7. Whisk in the cream, 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk and leave to cool for 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, pour the filling into the cooled tart case and bake for 20 minutes until the tart is just set – it should still have a wobble in the center. Remove the tart from the oven and leave to cool and set for 30 minutes.

Ingredients

12 good-quality dried figs
200ml (7fl oz/scant 1 cup) port (any type will do)
4 large duck legs
1 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
4 tbsp sunflower oil
10g (¼oz/¾ tbsp) unsalted butter
2 tbsp chopped mint leaves, stalks reserved
25g (scant 1oz/2 tbsp) caster (superfine) sugar
75ml (2½fl oz/1⁄3 cup) white balsamic vinegar
800ml (28fl oz/3½ cups) brown chicken stock
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. The day before, put the figs in a bowl with the port. Cover with clingfilm (plastic wrap) and put in the fridge to marinate overnight. The next day, preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F/Gas 3).
2. Season the duck legs with salt and pepper, then dip them in the flour. Shake of any excess flour. Put the oil in a large lidded flameproof and ovenproof casserole dish (Dutch oven) over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the duck legs and cook for 5 minutes on each side until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate and set aside.
3. Pour off the excess oil from the casserole dish (Dutch oven) and reduce the heat. Add the butter, mint stalks, sugar and balsamic vinegar. Cook over a low heat for 4–5 minutes until lightly caramelized.
4. Return the duck legs to the casserole dish (Dutch oven). Remove the figs from the port with a slotted spoon and pour the port over the duck legs. Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and tuck in the marinated figs. Cover with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 2–2½ hours, or until the duck is tender. Add a little more stock if it starts to dry out.
5. Carefully remove the duck legs and figs with a slotted spoon and divide between the serving plates. Strain the cooking sauce through a fine sieve (strainer) into a small pan and bring to the boil. Add the chopped mint leaves, pour over the duck legs and serve immediately.
