Cranberry Pheasant Recipes

PHEASANT WITH CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle cavity of pheasant with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place pheasant on a rack in shallow roasting pan. Drizzle with butter; sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Cover and bake at 325° for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 40-60 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 180°, basting with pan juices frequently., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, orange juice and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until the berries begin to pop, stirring frequently. Stir in the orange zest. Simmer 5 minutes longer. Cover pheasant with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Serve sauce with pheasant.

PHEASANT WITH CRANBERRY HONEY

Steps:

• Render bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add pheasant parts and sear on all sides, then add red wine and onions. Sprinkle cracked pepper, bay leaves, tarragon, salt and mint over pheasant parts. Reduce heat to low and cover pot. Cook until tender and juices run clear (no longer pink), about 25 minutes. Remove pheasant carefully to a utility platter, cover and set aside to keep warm. Transfer liquids from pot to a heat resistant glass container (such as a 2 or 3 cup measuring vessel) and allow the layer of fat to rise to the top. Spoon or pour off most of the fat and return the rest of the juices, herbs, bacon and onions to the pot over medium heat. Add cranberries to the sauce and cook until the berries pop to make a rustic sauce. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and whisk in honey and sour cream.
• Arrange pheasant on serving dish, spoon sauce over, and garnish with mint.

BROWN SUGAR CRANBERRY WHOLE WHEAT PEASANT BREAD RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast, salt and ½ cup warm water. Blend together well and let stand about 5-7 minutes. Add in lukewarm water and 2 tbl brown sugar and blend. Begin adding about 5-6 cups of flour (one cup at a time) to water mixture gradually making a thick gooey batter. Turn and blend well with a wooden spoon. The dough will be very thick but pliable somewhat like a 'lava' texture. Cover with a cloth and let rise until about double in size (usually a few hours). After the dough has raised, dump it on to a well-floured surface. Begin working in the flour to the dough and kneading. Add more flour as you turn and knead the dough. The dough will begin to feel more like play-dough and start taking shape. With a knife divide the dough into 2-3 pieces. Pat out and sprinkle the remaining brown sugar on each of the pieces. Put equal amounts of cranberries all over the dough then press in with your hands. Roll in to a loaf shape folding in the sides and ends. Pinch together the seam on the bottom. Make slits on top with a sharp knife. Place dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet and cover loosely with foil (just laying atop the dough loaves). Let the dough raise about 30 minutes. Bake for about 45-55 minutes (depending upon the size of the loaves...leave foil on bread until the last 10 minutes of baking). Remove foil in last 10-15 minutes to brown. When done, remove and let cool about 10-15 minutes before cutting or tearing off a piece!
