Instructions

  1. 1 Wash oranges well. Use a peeler to remove all the zest in long strips. It's okay if some of the white pith comes with it.
  2. 2 Transfer the peels to a saucepan and add 6 cups of cold water. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low to low and simmer until the peels are soft and tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. 3 While that cooks, cut oranges in half and juice them into a large measuring cup; this should equal 1 cup. Pour in 1/2 cup cold water and set aside.
  4. 4 Remove peels from heat and drain off the water. Transfer peels to a cutting board, and when cool enough to handle, slice the zest into very thin strips. Transfer into the blood orange juice.
  5. 5 Pour zest-juice mixture into the saucepan along with lemon juice and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces and thickens slightly, 30 to 40 minutes. A probe or candy thermometer should read about 225 degrees F (107 degrees C).
  6. 6 Meanwhile, inspect jam jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until juice mixture is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  7. 7 Pour into sterilized jam jars and let cool to room temperature. Seal jars and transfer to the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight, before enjoying.

Put slices in a covered bowl or plastic bag with the olives and refrigerate for 3 hours along with onions.
  3. 3 Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, sugar, mustard, oregano, pepper, and garlic powder in a jar with a lid, close, and shake well to combine. Refrigerate until 15 minutes before serving the salad. Remove from refrigerator to barely come to room temperature.

  1. 1 Place game hens in a large bowl; drizzle hens with olive oil and blood orange juice. Sprinkle with chopped rosemary and rosemary sprigs. Add Asian chili paste to hens; season with salt and pepper. Stir chickens in the seasonings and juice to coat. Use your fingers to loosen the skin over the breasts and spread a little of the marinade under the skin.
  2. 2 Refrigerate with breast sides down for 2 hours to marinate.
  3. 3 Preheat outdoor grill (preferably charcoal) for medium heat (one layer of coals). Drain chickens and discard marinade.
  4. 4 Place chickens with breast sides down onto grill and cover with grill lid with the vents open. Cook until breast sides are evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Flip chickens and cook on their backs with cover (vents open) until the juices run clear, hip joints move easily, and meat is no longer pink inside. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 30 to 35 more minutes.
  5. 5 Close the grill vents on the lid halfway. Flip chickens back onto breasts, close lid, and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  2. 2 Make the crust: Pulse flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a food processor a few times to combine. Add cold butter and pulse several more times until mixture is very crumbly and resembles coarse sand.
  3. 3 Pour mixture into the prepared tart pan; use damp hands to press crumbs together evenly along the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form a crust. Gently prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork. Freeze crust for 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  5. 5 Remove crust from the freezer and place it onto a baking sheet. Line the crust with aluminum foil and fill with dried beans.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until crust begins to turn golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove beans and aluminum foil; continue to bake until the center is set, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  7. 7 Make the filling: Bring a pot of water to a low simmer.
  8. 8 While the water is coming to a simmer, whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a large heat-proof bowl. Whisk in orange juice, eggs, egg yolk, and orange zest until smooth.
  9. 9 Place the bowl over the pot of simmering water, making sure it does not touch the water. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in butter, one piece at a time, ensuring each piece melts before adding the next. Pour filling through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared crust.
  10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow tart to cool to room temperature before removing from pan, about 30 minutes.
  11. 11 Chill tart for about 3 hours. Top with blood orange slices before serving.
