Orange Maple Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, syrup, vinegar, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil and orange zest. Remove from the heat; set aside., Sprinkle chicken with remaining salt and pepper. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165°, basting frequently with orange juice mixture.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan heat maple syrup and orange juice. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries. Discard any mushy or underripe berries and stems.
• Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the cranberries, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, water, and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling over medium heat until the berries burst and break down, forming a sauce, 15-20 minutes.
• Taste for sweetness. If it's too tart, add more syrup - a tablespoon at a time - until the sauce tastes sweet enough for you.
• Remove from the heat and let cool. Spoon into your serving container to serve or store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 3-4 days. You can also freeze your cranberry sauce for up to 2 months - I do this every Thanksgiving! Just place the sauce in an airtight container or zipper freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. Move to the fridge to thaw about 24-48 hours before the big meal.

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.

Steps:

• Heat all ingredients until warm.
