Fennel Marmalade Recipes

Steps:

• For the blueberry marmalade: In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water and heat on high until boiling. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thick, approximately 30 minutes.
• Preheat 3 inches oil in a deep-fryer or large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• For the whipped yogurt: Combine the cream, yogurt and granulated sugar in a stand mixer and whip until firm peaks are reached.
• For the funnel cake: In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the buttermilk, milk, scraped vanilla seeds and 1 cup water and beat until well blended. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until incorporated.
• Ladle the batter into a large pastry bag and snip the tip with scissors when you are ready to fry. Squirt spirals of batter into the oil, layering the spirals until the desired size is reached, and fry until crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and place on the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Meanwhile, dust the funnel cake with powdered sugar and place on a plate. Cover each with marmalade and a spoonful of whipped yogurt. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to sizzle and soften, about five minutes. Add the fennel and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about five minutes. Turn the heat to low, cover and cook slowly for 45 minutes, stirring often. The mixture should melt down to a purée. Add the garlic, and taste and adjust salt and pepper. Stir together, cover and simmer for another 15 minutes until the mixture is lightly colored and very soft. Remove the lid, and if there is liquid in the pan, cook uncovered until the purée is thick and no more liquid remains in the pan. Stir in the lemon juice, adjust seasonings and serve. Alternately, allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a large shallow baking dish, stir together miso, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and marmalade; season with salt and pepper. Set aside 1/2 cup glaze. Add pork to dish, turning to coat; let marinate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Heat a large skillet over high heat; add olive oil and slab bacon, cooking until fat is rendered. Add fennel and onion; cook until fennel begins to soften, about 10 minutes. Add tarragon and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Drain excess fat, if necessary, and discard tarragon. Add sugar, and cook until dissolved. Add vermouth, and using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits; reduce until almost dry. Add remaining juice of 1 lemon, red pepper, and fennel seeds; cook until dry. Remove from heat, and toss with zest; set aside.
• Remove pork from marinade, and pat dry to remove excess marinade; discard marinade. Place pork on a work surface, cut side up; season with salt and pepper. Evenly spread fennel mixture over pork; roll to enclose. Using butcher's twine, tie pork every 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
• Place pork in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan fitted with a rack. Rub pork with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce to 350 degrees and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes; cover with parchment paper-lined foil if browning too quickly.
• Increase oven temperature to 550 degrees. Brush pork with reserved glaze. Continue to cook until dark brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer pork to a serving platter. Cover with parchment paper-lined foil, and let rest for 10 to 20 minutes. To serve, slice pork into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut the base off of the fennel bulbs, and cut a cone shape into the base to remove the core. You can see the core because it is whiter than the surrounding green. This is optional, but helps the fennel cook faster. Slice the fennel vertically (upright) into 1/4 inch thick slices.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fennel, and fry for about 5 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and creme fraiche until well blended. Transfer to a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown and the fennel is tender enough to pierce with a fork.

Steps:

• Mix fennel, orange juice, sugar and ginger in large saucepan. Bring to boil on medium heat. Reduce hear to low; simmer 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely grate orange peel. Remove orange sections and coarsely chop. Stir grated peel and chopped orange into fennel mixture.
• Simmer 15 minutes longer or until mixture is reduced and somewhat thick, Stir in cilantro and salt. Cover.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
