Cranberry And Orange Charlotte

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Finely grate the rind from 1 orange, then squeeze the juice. Peel and
segment the other orange, discarding all white pith.  Put the
cranberries and sugar in a saucepan with 150 ml water. Add the  grated
orange rind and crushed cardamom seeds. Heat gently until the  sugar is
dissolved, then simmer for 10 minutes. Taste for sweetness,  add a
little more sugar if necessary. Transfer half of the mixture to  a
blender or food processor and work until smooth, then press through  a
sieve into a bowl. Stir in the orange juice to make a coulis; set
aside.  Add the orange segments to the other half of the cranberry
mixture. To  assemble the charlottes you will need 4 individual round
tins or  pudding moulds, about 200 ml in capacity. Cut thin slices from
the  brioche loaf. From these, cut 8 circles to fit the base and top of
the moulds. Tip 4 broioche circles into the melted butter and fit  into
the base of the tins. Cut thin strips of brioche to line the  sides of
the tin, dip in melted butter and position around the  insides of the
tins. Fill with the cranberry and orange segment  mixture. dip the
remaining brioche circles in butter and position on  top. Place on a
baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200 C or  400 F for 25
minutes or until crisp and well browned. Carefully  remove the
charlottes from the tins.  Transfer to individual plates and dust with
icing sugar. Surround  with the cranberry and orange coulis, dot with
the fromage frais and  feather with a wooden skewer. Decorate with
orange rind shreds and  serve immediately. Posted to EAT-L Digest 07

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
