Jenny's Recipe

Jenny of Pies By Jenny sent me a recipe that she'll be using later this year in her pies. You could prepare this and eat it, without putting it in a pie. This summer she'll have "Rockridge Orchards Desert King Fig Gastrique with Wooly Pigs Pork."


Native Blackberry Gastrique

1/3 cup Rockridge Orchards Apple Cider Vinegar

1/4 cup organic cane sugar

2 cups "Foraged and Found" ( Forager - Jeremy Faber) Native Blackberries

One TBL. chopped organic rosemary

One 1/4 tsp. chopped organic savory

Add to sauce pan Rockridge Orchards Cider Vinegar and sugar and reduce by one half.

Stir in Native Blackberries and Herbs and heat through and simmer until sauce is a loose & silky syrup.

Pour over your ideal preparation of Wooly Pigs Pork...

(This recipe represens three local farmers and foragers in the Pacific Northwest and is in relationship to the "terrior" of Washigton)

If I remember correct, Jenny's "ideal preparation" is usually to braise the pork for 45 minutes.
