Currant Shrub
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups strained red currant juice
- 2 1/2 cups rum or brandy
- Finely grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Directions:
- Mix the red currant juice, rum or brandy, orange zest, and nutmeg together in a large, wide-necked jar.
- You may find the mixture of acid and alcohol forms a gela perfect example of how adding fruit juice to spirit can determine pectin levels (see pp.
- 3839).
- Dont worry, the mixture will become liquid again when you add the sugar.
- Seal the jar tightly and leave for 7 to 10 days in a cool, dark place.
- Transfer the currant and alcohol mixture to a pan, add the sugar, and heat gently to about 140F.
- When the sugar has dissolved, strain the liqueur through a jelly strainer bag or cheesecloth (see p. 33).
- Decant the strained liquid into a sterilized bottle (see p. 125) and seal with a cap.
- Store for several months in a cool, dark place so the shrub can fully mature before you take the first tipple.
- Use within 2 years.
- At marmalade-making time, buy an extra couple of pounds of Seville oranges and use the strained juice in place of the red currant juice for an outstanding orange liqueur.
- Red currants that grow on a standard (long-stemmed) bush, rather than at ground level, make picking very easy and also add interest to the garden.
- I pick about 10 pounds of red currants each season from my standard bush.

Yuca Flour Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cups Feta Cheese
- 3/4 cups Queso Fresco
- 1- 1/2 cup Tapioca Or Yuca Flour (Same Thing)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream (more Or Less May Be Needed)
- Your Preferred Pizza Toppings
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Using a food processor take the shredding blade and shred your feta and fresco cheeses.
- Place the cheese mixture in a small bowl to the side.
- Using your blending blade add tapioca flour, baking powder and salt into the food processor.
- Pulse a few times to blend.
- Add your cheese mixture and blend until completely mixed.
- Add the egg and blend until completely mixed.
- At this point it will be a bit sticky but not completely stuck together.
- This next part is the tricky part.
- Using the heavy cream add about a tablespoon at a time to the food processor.
- Mix well after each addition and I mean mix really well.
- Sometimes it doesnt look like its going to get smooth, but then after you wait for 15 more seconds it does turn smooth.
- What you are looking for is the point where it just starts to get smooth.
- It usually only takes 2-4 tablespoons of cream.
- Just one tablespoon too much and it will become a giant puddle once its put into the oven.
- So, its better to be a little dry than too wet.
- Reference my pictures in the related blog link for texture.
- Once its at the right consistency roll it into a ball.
- Place this ball between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper for easiest handling.
- Roll it out until its pretty thin, around and 1/8 thick and fits on your pizza pan.
- Put it on your pizza pan.
- Bake in the oven for 12 16 minutes or until it just starts to become golden brown on top.
- At this time prepare your pizza toppings.
- Remove from oven and top with whatever you desire.
- Place it back in the oven long enough for the cheese to melt.
- Enjoy!
