DO YOU WANT A MOCKTAIL THAT CONTAINS NO STONEFRUIT AND YET IS STRONGLY REMINISCENT OF BITING INTO A FRESH PLUM?

MIX EQUAL PARTS PRICKLY PEAR SYRUP AND 100% PINEAPPLE JUICE. I DID AROUND A HALF SHOT OF EACH.

MUDDLE IN SOME FRESH MINT SPRIGS. REALLY BRUISE THOSE LIL LEAVES.

Champagne Cocktail !

(With Elderflower and Pear Syrup)

Makes 6 (or 8) cocktails:

Ingredients:

3 (or 4) ounces Domaine de Canton 3 (or 4) ounces St. Elder elderflower liqueur (or St- Germain) 9 (or 12) ounces Pear Syrup (see recipe below) 1 bottle French Champagne 1 pear, cored and sliced and drizzled with lemon juice rosemary sprigs, for garnish

For the Pear syrup: 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 2 pears, peeled, cored and diced

You can prepare this for one or for as many drinks as you need.

In a cocktail shaker, add ½ ounce Domaine de Canton, ½ ounce St. Elder, ¾ ounce pear simple syrup per cocktail, and finish with ice. Stir for 7 seconds with a stirring spoon, and then pour the mixture into a cocktail glass. Once stirred, divide between the glasses. When ready to serve, top with Champagne. Decorate each glass with a slice of pear and a sprig of rosemary.

For the Pear Syrup: In a pot, combine the sugar, water and diced pear. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain, pressing on the pears with the back of a spoon to get as much flavor as possible in the collected liquid. Let the syrup cool completely (I suggest keeping the pears for a dessert, for example, so that nothing goes to waste). Keep the syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge. Use for cocktails, drinks or desserts.

Maple Pear and Hazelnut Cake

This Thanksgiving, I am also baking a cake. Not just any cake, though! A moist and light Maple Pear and Hazelnut Cake that celebrates this year's harvest in the garden, and is a delicious mouthful of Autumn comfort! Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

Ingredients (6 to 8):

1 ½ tablespoon unsalted butter

1/2 cup hazelnuts

1 cup Pears in Whisky Syrup + 1/4 cup of the Whisky Syrup 

2 cups plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup caster sugar

4 eggs

1/3 cup hazelnut milk

1/4 cup pure (Grade A) Canadian Maple Syrup

Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F. Butter a 20cm/8��� cake tin; set aside.

In a small saucepan, melt butter over a low flame. Once melted, remove from the heat. Set aside.

Toast hazelnuts in a small frying pan over a high flame, a few minutes until just fragrant. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Save four beautiful Pear halves, and place them, cut side down at the bottom of prepared cake tin. Dice the rest of the Pear halves; set aside.

Blitz toasted hazelnuts in a food processor, until you have a fine enough powder (resembling coarse meal).

In a large bowl, combine flour, ground hazelnuts, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt and caster sugar. Give a good stir with a wooden spoon.

Dig a well in the middle of the dry ingredients, and break in the eggs. Give a good and gentle stir, gradually adding hazelnut milk, melted butter, Maple Syrup and Whisky Syrup until just combined.

Then, gently fold in Diced Pears, until just combined.

Gently spoon batter evenly over the Pear halves. Place cake tin in the middle of the oven, and bake, at 160°C/320°F, 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Remove from the oven, and allow to cool in the tin, about 15 minutes, before turning out onto serving plate.

Generously brush with Maple Syrup.

Serve Maple Pear and Hazelnut Cake warm or at room temperature, with glass of chilled Champagne.
