A PARTRIDGE IN A CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE TREE!
This is such a wonderful way of serving your chocolate truffles at Christmas or New Year - or indeed any special winter festival! I do make my own truffles for this, but you can buy ready-made truffles for ease and speed of course! I love to see my family and friend's faces when I bring the coffee and "chocolates" out with this Truffle Tree! Allow yourself plenty of time to assemble this, the plant pot and the tree "trunk" can be prepared beforehand; once the chocolate truffle tree has been assembled, it will be fine for up to 2 days before you need to serve it, stored in a very cool and dry place - NOT a fridge however. I have made this with a well-known gold wrapped chocolate nut truffle before, as well as the white chocolate and coconut version by the same company! The truffles shown in my photos are local hand-made truffles, but any "firm" high chocolate truffle is fine. I have my own truffle recipe posted on zaar, Recipe #271012 which also works very well with this tree! Have fun - and just watch your guest's faces when you bring this out!! NB: You can also make this with marshmallows and other suitable sweets or candy, especially for children.

Steps:
- Spray the "trunk" of the tree with a colour of your choice such as gold or silver.
- Spray the plant pot the same colour, allow them to dry for at least 4 hours.
- Cover the foam ball with aluminium foil and wrap securely around, taping if necessary.
- Place some pebbles in the bottom of the plant pot and then push the florist's foam in, on top of the pebbles - wedging it in so that it is firm.
- Stick the "trunk" into the foil-covered ball - firmly - then push the other end of the "trunk" into the florist's foam in the prepared plant pot. Make sure it is firm and does not rock, add some more pebbles.
- Tie a ribbon around the top of the "trunk" at the base of the foil-covered ball - then tie a large bow.
- Take a cocktail stick and push it into your truffle, (or other sweets/candy) then push the other end into the foam ball making sure it is securely positioned.
- Do this for all the chocolate truffles until the "tree" is full.
- Add some white foam packing balls around the top of the plant pot to resemble snow - brush off any loose cocoa and serve with coffee!
- Don't forget to pin your Partridge nearby! My Partridge is a glass bird, that was a gift from JoyfulCook!

NORTHERN ONTARIO PARTRIDGE (RUFFED GROUSE)
This was my Scottish grandmother's recipe for partridge, also commonly known as ruffed grouse. Partridge breasts are seared in bacon grease, then roasted in a simple wine sauce and served with a rich gravy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the slices of bacon in the skillet and fry until they have released their juices, but are not crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. Place the partridge breast halves into the pan, and brown them quickly, about 2 minutes per side.
- Remove the partridge pieces, and wrap each one with two slices of bacon. Secure with toothpicks. Pour enough of the drippings from the skillet into a baking dish to cover the bottom. Place the partridge pieces into the dish along with the chicken broth, white wine, shallots, garlic, salt and black pepper.
- Roast uncovered for 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove drippings from the baking dish using a turkey baster, and place in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Serve gravy with partridge.

- PREPARE TRUFFLESIn a large bowl, cream butter and sifted icing sugar. Melt 250g (8.8oz) chocolate in the microwave on medium-low power, checking every 30 seconds. Add to the butter mixture together with sifted cocoa powder and mix by hand until well combined. At this point you can divide the mixture up and stir in any optional extras. This is a great time for taste testing!
- Chill the mixture for an hour, until firm. Roll into balls approximately the same size as the marshmallows. Chill truffles for a further hour, then melt remaining chocolate as per instructions above. Line two large flat trays (baking trays are fine) with baking paper. Dip the truffles in melted chocolate, one by one, and remove with a fork or truffle dipping spoon, letting excess chocolate drain off. Place on trays and refrigerate for an hour, until set. Dipping chocolate may need to be reheated if it starts to harden.
- ASSEMBLE TREESet out the cake board. Glue or tape the cone into the centre of the board. Press toothpicks into the bases of the truffles and marshmallows and gently press into the cone, starting from the bottom. Make whatever pattern you like (I used more truffles than marshmallows). Secure a marshmallow on top of the cone. It’s likely you will have extra truffles leftover (great for gifting!).
- Press a star into the top marshmallow and decorate the tree with other accessories. Dust with edible glitter, if you like.
