English Bishop Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the orange almost in half. Sprinkle the inside with crushed cloves.
• and place cinnamon stick inside.
• Pierce the orange with small slices to make easier placing the cloves into the orange. Bake it in the oven on low heat (300F degrees) for 30-40 minutes.
• Cut the baked oranges into quarters and squeeze juice into a saucepan with peels. Add 1 cup water, simmer 5 minutes.
• Pour in the remaining ingredients.
• Simmer gently for 10-15 minutes - do not boil or the flavor of the port will be spoiled.
• Strain and serve in warm mugs or in cordial glasses.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Stud the orange with the cloves, place in a baking dish, and bake until the entire orange is browned, about 30 minutes. While still warm, carefully cut into quarters and place in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the port and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the orange quarters, strain the liquid, and add the sugar. Allow to cool, strain out any debris, and bottle. Will keep for 2 weeks, refrigerated.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare oranges for roasting: wash and dry them well, and stud each fruit equally with cloves. Roast the clove-studded fruits in the oven for an hour, then transfer them to a large glass or ceramic bowl.
• Add the sugar and the red wine (do not add the port yet) to the bowl. Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm spot in the kitchen for at least 12 hours, and up to 24.
• After the citrus-sugar-wine mixture has rested, cut the fruits in half and juice them through a strainer into the wine and sugar mixture. Discard fruits after they have been juiced. Strain the mixture again, this time into a heavy saucepan. Discard solids.
• Add the port, the cinnamon stick, and the cardamom pods to the saucepan, and heat very slowly-until it "smokes" (the vapors rise), hence the name; do not allow it to boil.
• Once the Bishop is as hot as you like, turn off the heat. Remove the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods. Serve in warmed, heatproof glasses, garnished with orange peel.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
• Stud orange with cloves and roast in a small shallow ceramic or glass baking dish until browned and soft, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Carefully quarter orange, then bring orange quarters and Port just to a simmer in a 2- to 2 1/2-quart saucepan. Remove from heat and serve warm.
