Ingredients

• ✓ orange zest
• rhubarb
• white sugar
• water
• orange juice

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
2. 2 Combine rhubarb, sugar, water, orange juice, and orange zest in a saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 45 minutes. Jam will continue to thicken as it cools.
3. 3 Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Use a jelly funnel and soup ladle to pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
4. 4 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
5. 5 Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Ingredients

• ✓ orange zest
• pear
• water
• sugar
• nutmeg
• orange juice

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Place pears into a large pot over medium heat; add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot and keep them from sticking, about 1/2 cup. Cook until the pears are soft, about 30 minutes.
3. 3 Press pears through a sieve or food mill, and measure out 2 quarts of the pulp.
4. 4 Pour pear pulp and sugar into a large saucepan and stir to dissolve sugar. Stir in orange zest, nutmeg, and orange juice. Cook over medium heat until mixture is thick enough to mound in a spoon.
5. 5 When mixture begins to thicken, stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom. This process will take about 1 hour.
6. 6 Ladle pear butter into hot sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles by sliding a metal spatula around where the pear butter touches the glass. Wipe jar rims clean, and seal with lids and rings.
7. 7 Process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. The water should cover the jars by 1 inch. Check with your local extension for exact processing times for your area.

• olive oil
• kosher salt
• chicken thigh

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Generously season chicken thighs on both sides with 2 teaspoons kosher salt.
3. 3 Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, to the hot oil and sear until skin is golden brown and releases from the bottom of the skillet, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and sear on the other side for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and remove chicken to a plate. Drain fat from the skillet and reserve for another use.
4. 4 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the skillet back on the stove. Add onion, a pinch of kosher salt, and sugar. Turn heat to medium-high; cook and stir until onion turns translucent and sugar starts to caramelize on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn.
5. 5 Add orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice, and chicken broth. Increase heat to high, and stir in cinnamon, cayenne, and black pepper. Stir occasionally and bring to a boil. Boil until liquids are reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
6. 6 Turn off the heat and transfer chicken and any accumulated juices back into the skillet; make sure the skin is facing up. Baste chicken with the liquid and sprinkle caraway seeds over top.
7. 7 Cover and bake in the center of the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven, remove the lid, and baste chicken.
8. 8 Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes, adding a splash of water if the liquid dries out. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Instructions

1. 1 Place octopus in a large pot filled with enough lightly salted water to cover; bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until opaque, about 15 minutes. Drain. Cool slightly; cut into bite-sized pieces.
2. 2 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, mint leaves, garlic, curry powder and mixed spice; cook and stir until onion is soft. Season with salt and black pepper.

Ingredients

• ✓ orange zest
• confectioners' sugar
• almond
• milk
• egg yolk
• candied mixed fruit peel
• raisin
• all-purpose flour
• mace
• ground ginger
• all-purpose flour
• milk
• salt
• egg
• butter
• white sugar
• water
• fresh yeast

Instructions

1. 1 Make the sponge: Dissolve yeast in warm water.
2. 2 Cream sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add beaten egg and salt. Stir in cooled milk, then yeast mixture. Sift in flour and beat until smooth. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. 3 Make the dough: Stir orange zest, ginger, and mace into sponge. Add flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Transfer dough to a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic. Knead in raisins and candied peel. Place dough into a well-oiled bowl and turn once to coat the surface. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
4. 4 Divide dough into 10 parts. Roll dough into ropes of desired length (make sure they are equal); let rise for 15 minutes.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Generously grease a baking sheet.
6. 6 Place 3 ropes dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Starting at the center and working toward each end, loosely braid ropes; pinch ends together to seal. Twist 2 more ropes together and place on the base of the braid. Repeat this process to form a second loaf with remaining dough.
7. 7 Whisk egg yolk and milk together in a small bowl. Brush egg wash over each loaf and sprinkle with almonds. Let rise for about 45 minutes.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer loaves to a wire rack. Cover with a tea towel to make a soft crust; let cool completely.
9. 9 Sprinkle cooled loaves with confectioners' sugar.
