Cinnamon buns with Chivers Ginger Jam

Chicken breast with pumpkin and creamy orange sauce

Ingredients (7 large snails):
For the dough:
· 600 g of flour
· 1 pck of dry yeast
· 100 g of sugar
· 1 organic lemon
· 2 eggs
· 150 ml of milk
· 100 g soft butter
· ½ tsp cardamom
· 1 teaspoon ground ginger

For the filling:
· 150 g soft butter
· 4 tbsp cinnamon
· 8 tablespoons of sugar

For painting:

· 1 egg yolk
· 3 tablespoons milk
· 1 glass of Chivers Ginger Jam

Preparation
1. Place the flour with the cardamom and ginger in a large mixing bowl. Heat the milk lukewarm (do not cook!). Put together with the sugar and the dried yeast in a tall container and stir well. Leave to stand for 10 minutes until the yeast starts to blister. Then put the milk mixture in the bowl with the flour. Add the soft butter and the eggs and knead everything with the dough hooks to an elastic dough. Covered in a warm place for about 1 hour.
2. Brush out an ovenproof round baking pan with butter. Put the dough on a floured work surface and knead well with your hands again. Roll out about 1 cm thick to a rectangle. Brush with 150g of soft butter. Mix the cinnamon with the sugar and spread evenly over the butter. Roll up the dough from the long side, pressing in between so that the snails do not fall apart. Cut into 7 equal parts and place in the mold. Let it go for another 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (top and bottom heat). Spread the cinnamon rolls with a mixture of egg yolks and 3 tablespoons of milk and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, liquefy the Chivers Ginger Jam in a saucepan over low heat. When the cinnamon buns are done, sprinkle with the ginger jam, let it cool for a short while and serve it lukewarm.

Lemon curd trifle with red fruit

Lemon curd trifle with red fruit

Ingredients (4 people)
– 8-10 slices of cake
– 1 portion of mascarpone cream
– 1 jar of Chivers Lemon Curd
– Red fruit of your choice (used in this recipe: strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)

Preparation
Prepare the mascarpone cream according to this recipe, the only thing you do different is adding 3 tablespoons of Lemon Curd to loosen the mascarpone. This gives your mascarpone cream a nice fresh taste. Powdered sugar is no longer necessary, but make it feel something sweeter as you want.

  • Cut the cake into slices and make small blocks again. That works a bit easier with building up the layers later on. Also clean the fruit and cut the strawberries into smaller parts. The raspberries can also be halved in length.
  • Start building the trifles right away! You can use an ice-cream to make the trifle, but you can also use glasses or jars. I like to use glass jars so that you can see the layers well.
  • I started with a little mascarpone cream and made the first layer of cake. Then I smeared some Chivers Lemon Curd over, followed by a layer of fruit. Continue until the glass is full. I ended with mascarpone cream with which I closed the top of the glass, as it were. Then there is some Chivers Lemon Curd, but not all the way to the edges. On top of that, a few blocks of cake with the fruit. So you can see at a glance what you can expect from the dessert, even if you do not use glass.

You can serve the trifles right away, but you can also prepare them well and keep them in the refrigerator until you need them. The longer you make them in advance, the more the flavors pass through. Keep in mind, however, that the cake is becoming more and more flaky. That is not a problem, but not everyone likes that!
