CRANBERRY, ORANGE AND CARDAMOM INFUSED WATER

CRANBERRY CLAFOUTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 1-quart baking dish (not metal) using a pastry brush; sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over bottom. Sift remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the flour, and salt into a large bowl. Gradually whisk in eggs, 3/4 cup cream, the milk, and zest.
• Scatter cranberries into dish; pour batter over top. Bake until puffed, slightly set, and brown around edges, 32 to 34 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes (it will sink).
• Whisk remaining 1/4 cup cream until soft peaks form. Dust clafouti with confectioners' sugar. Serve with whipped cream.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease with butter or shortening.
• Place 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips in a large saucepan. Add bittersweet chips and butter and melt over low heat.
• Remove from the heat. Whisk in eggs until thoroughly combined and the chocolate is smooth. Stir in sugar, orange blossom water, orange zest, and vanilla paste. Stir in flour, baking soda, and kosher salt until just combined. Fold in cranberries and remaining 1/4 cup semisweet chips.
• Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle tops with sea salt immediately. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into 9 squares, wiping the knife clean after each cut.

CRANBERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Combine the eggs, egg yolks, 1/2 cup turbinado sugar, the half-and-half, flour, Grand Marnier, vanilla and salt in a blender. Pulse until the sugar has dissolved and the batter is smooth, about 1 minute. Let sit at room temperature, 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Butter the bottom and side of an 11-inch ceramic tart pan or pie plate and set on a baking sheet. Toss the cranberries with 5 tablespoons turbinado sugar in a small bowl; spread in the bottom of the prepared tart pan. Bake until the mixture starts to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Carefully pour 1 cup of the prepared batter into the hot pan and let sit 5 minutes, then pour in the remaining batter. Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons turbinado sugar on top. Bake until puffed and almost set, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 20 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

CRANBERRY CLAFOUTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Toss cranberries with 1/4 cup sugar. Pour 1/2 cup of cranberries into 8 ramekins and place on a baking sheet.
• In a food processor, blend remaining ingredients until smooth. Pour over cranberries and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until top of gratin is an even golden brown colour.
• Serve clafoutis warm, brushed with apricot jam.

CRANBERRY CLAFOUTIS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter a deep 9- or 10-inch pie plate or a gratin dish of similar size. Sprinkle it with a tablespoon or so of sugar, then swirl dish to coat evenly. Invert to remove excess.
• Beat eggs well, then add remaining sugar. Beat until smooth. Add flour, and beat again until smooth. Add the half-and-half or milk and salt, and whisk until smooth.
• Coarsely chop cranberries and walnuts. If using a food processor, do not overprocess -- just pulse until chopped. (It's very fast.) Put cranberry mixture in pie plate, and pour batter over it.
• Bake for about 30 minutes, or until clafoutis is nicely browned on top and a knife inserted into it comes out clean. Sift some confectioners' sugar over it, and serve warm or at room temperature.

CRANBERRY CLAFOUTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Butter a deep 9- or 10-inch pie plate, round porcelain dish, or gratin dish of similar size. Sprinkle it with a tablespoon or so of the sugar, then swirl the dish to coat evenly with sugar; invert to remove the excess.
• Beat the egg well, then add the remaining sugar; beat until smooth. Add the flour and beat again until smooth. Add the half-and-half and salt and whisk once more until smooth.
• Coarsely chop the cranberries and walnuts; you can do this in a food processor if you like (it's very fast), but be careful not to overprocess-you want to break up the cranberries, not mince them. Put the cranberry mixture in the bottom of the dish and pour the batter over it.
• Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the clafouti is nicely browned on top and a knife inserted into it comes out clean. Sift some confectioners' sugar over it and serve warm or at room temperature.
