Jacques Pepins Jalapeno Cranberry Relish Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, orange juice, onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, cumin and salt.
• Stir together and chill 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Place half of the orange segments, the zest, and the jalapenos in the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the sugar and pulse 3 to 4 more times. Add the cranberries and continue to pulse until berries are roughly chopped. Adjust seasonings with sugar, if needed. Transfer cranberry mixture to a bowl and toss with the remaining half of chopped orange segments and the mint. Allow relish to chill for at least 30 minutes, and up to 2 days. Serve relish chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, put the sugar, ginger, jalapenos, orange zest and orange juice. Simmer for 2 minutes. Add the cranberries and set over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water if the mixture appears too dry. Add in the lemon zest and juice and season with salt or a bit more sugar. Let cool completely and serve.

Steps:

• Rinse berries in cold water; drain.
• In a saucepan, mix water and sugar; stir to dissolve sugar. Bring to boil. Add cranberries, Jalapeno peppers, and lemon juice, and return to boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sherry and stir well. Remove from heat and let cool completely at room temperature.
• Refrigerate in a glass container with cover. Serve with turkey or chicken.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients for the cranberry relish in a stainless steel saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and boil gently for 10 to 12 minutes. Set off the heat until cool, then cover and refrigerate. (This relish is best made a day ahead, as it develops taste after a few hours.) The relish will keep, refrigerated, for several weeks and is excellent with cold roasts or pâtés.

Steps:

• Wash cranberries, lime and jalapenos.
• Deseed and remove pith of the lime.
• Grind the cranberries, lime, and jalapenos, I used a food processor.
• Add the sugar and mix well.
• Refrigerate the mixture for at least three hours so flavors can meld.
• Or as we liked it simmered for 1/2 an hour or so (until desired thickness) and cooled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove any dark spots or damaged areas from the yams and wash them thoroughly under cool water. If there are no damaged areas on the potatoes, trim them at either end or prick them (to allow steam to escape).
• Place the potatoes on a foil-lined cookie sheet and bake them for about 50 minutes, until soft and tender.
• Serve with the soy-sauce chicken.

Steps:

• 1. Bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cut the mushrooms into thin slices. Pile the slices together and cut them into thin strips (julienne). You should have 1½ cups. Combine them in a large glass bowl with the peas.
• 2. Add the diced tomatoes, garlic and anchovies with their oil to the bowl. Sprinkle some red pepper flakes, salt, olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
• 3. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until done to your liking. Meanwhile, heat the tomato mixture in a microwave oven for about 2 minutes. When the pasta is cooked, ladle out about ¾ cup of the hot pasta water before draining the pasta, and mix it into the sauce in the bowl to help warm it up.
• 4. Drain the pasta, and add it to the sauce along with the cilantro. Toss well for 15 or 20 seconds, and divide among the four hot plates. Serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan cheese.
