Gleadell St Market Quince Jam

At the end of autumn, a little prior to Melbourne’s lockdown #4, figs at Gleadell St market were astoundingly good value. Hence this jam that I’m pleased to share. Recipe courtesy of Taste.com.au, simple and sweet with only a little peel from the lemon added in order to candy as that worked so well in …

Fig jam

Our family spent a week during school holidays in Adelaide, and we decided to drive via Hamilton. On the way through Vic was generous enough to offer figs from their main crop. Still a little green, we kept a banana with each 4L bucket for 48 hours to help ripening. With 3.7kg left after we’d …

Apricot jam

Apricots were $2/kg at Gleadall St market, but proved not to be as tasty as the last lot that got bottled. Jam time.

More things with pork and massaman

Pork and fennel roast. I’ve cooked this pork a few times now with a piece of around 1kg roasting pork from the local butcher (which appears to be a transverse slice of pork leg). I take the skin layer with half the fat off first, cut this into slices, salt, and put on a rack over …

Pea and Ham Soup

Pea and Ham soup This was child approved. When I weighed my ham hock it was double the recipe requirement, so I doubled all ingredients except the frozen peas (didn’t have any more). I added an extra cup of dried split yellow peas at the same time as the stock to compensate. Stock powder was …

Recent cooking expeditions

The post-chinese-new-year half price duck turned into Gordon Ramsey Crispy Roast Duck. The chinese five spice didn’t penetrate all that well, but it crisped up fairly nicely and was succulent. The intercostal muscle was fantastic from the start anise inside. The extra bits of duck turned into rendered duck fast and I discovered that 100g per …

Pork recipes

Our local Vietnamese butcher has great pork. Slowcooked pork and lemongrass curry Definitately worth doing. In this first time I went heavy on the pumpkin and also added a sweet potato, and it worked well with more vegetables.   I tried pork spare ribs as well, they could have been better, but perhaps this offers …
