London Town Recipes

Ingredients for Poor Knights of Windsor Recipe
2 c Raspberries
6 sl Bread; up to 8
3 tb Confectioners sugar
-crusts remove, cut in
1 c Heavy cream
-triangles
1/2 c Sherry
3 oz Butter; 6 Tbsp
3 Egg yolks; lightly beaten
1 ts Cinnamon

Poor Knights of Windsor Preparation..I have never found out the origin of this recipe or where its name comes from. However, it is particularly pleasant because of the contrast between the hot toasted bread (which is similar to the French toast) and the cold raspberries and cream. Sprinkle the raspberries with confectioner’s sugar, crush them gently with a fork and set aside. Whip the cream until it is stiff. Place the sherry in one bowl and the lightly beaten egg yolks in another. Dip the bread slices first in the sherry and then in the egg yolks. Melt the butter in a frying pan and when it is hot, fry the bread on both sides until it is golden brown. Transfer the slices to a warm dish and sprinkle each side with a little cinnamon. Place a few of the raspberries on each slice of the toasted bread and cover with a dollop of cream. SERVES: 4-6 SOUR

1/2 c Cognac (optional)
2 ts Ground cinnamon

Roast Fresh Ham, Tudor Style Preparation...Trim every bit of fat possible off the meat and discard. Place the meat in a large non-metal container. Mix all of the other ingredients together and pour over the meat. Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 8 days. Turn the meat several times during marination so that no section is allowed to become dry. When ready to roast, transfer the meat to a large heavy roaster pan (an enameled iron roaster with a lid would be ideal). Remove the bay leaf, peppercorns, whole allspice and whole cloves (if used) from the marinade and pour the marinade over the meat. Roast the meat in a 350 F oven, basting frequently. Allow 30 to 40 minutes per pound. The inside temperature should be 165 F to 175F as measured with a meat thermometer. Remove the cover during the last 1/2 hour. You should be able to cut with a fork when done. If the pan becomes too dry, add additional red wine and/or water, 1/2 cup at a time. You will want at least 1 cup of liquid remaining in the panwhen the roast is done. Transfer the roast to a carving platter and allow it to cool slightly before carving. If desired, serve surrounded with small baked apples or spiced crab apples. HUNTER’S SAUCE: Strain the liquid and vegetables from the roasting pan. Transfer the vegetables to a food processor or blender. Return the liquid to the roasting pan and skim off as much fat as possible. Add 1/2 cup of hot water to the pan and bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up the particles adhering to the pan. Reduce the liquid to 1 cup. Puree the vegetables in the food processor or blender. Add the reduced cooking liquid and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. If the sauce is too thick, thin to the desired consistency with hot water. Serve in a silver or pewter pitcher, bowl or sauceboat.

Ingredients for Jonathan s Horseradish Recipe
Fresh horseradish roots
Vinegar

Jonathan s Horseradish Preparation...Peel fresh horseradish root(s). Cut into pieces small enough to fit in the food processor. (Suggest you do this under a range hood with the fan on high or outside.) Run the food processor until horseradish is ground finely. Stand back as far as you can while still reaching the food processor, turn your head sideways so you don”t breath anything, and pour in through the spout sufficient vinegar to moisten the horseradish - small amount at a time. Turn the processor back just enough to mix the vinegar in. Add salt and sugar to taste. Store in glass jars with plastic between jar and lid. Warning: The first time he made this, he almost asphyxiated himself when he removed the lid from the food processor. Also, if you give this away, people will love it and expect more every year.
