Peekaboo Shortbread Stars

Dec 1, 2013

Any flavour of jam that you love will be delicious in these peekaboo treats. We love the deep, celebratory red of seedless raspberry jam, but black currant, apricot and cherry jams all make lovely variations.

Seared Salmon and Swiss Chard With Mustard Vinaigrette

Seared Salmon and Swiss Chard With Mustard Vinaigrette

A simple mustard vinaigrette is all you need to amp up the fresh flavour of salmon. Currants add a touch of sweetness to the Swiss chard, but you can also use dried cranberries for an extra pop of colour. Chard stems are denser than the leaves, so be sure to cook them for longer.

Swedish Tea Rings

Swedish Tea Rings

Jul 14, 2005

Some things never lose their appeal, such as my mother's Christmas tea rings, which feature a dab of red currant jelly. So good are these little dainties that she made them year-round for church bake sales, showers and teas. Make sure the walnuts are fresh.

Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Gluten-Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies

The versatility of these cookies is endless. White or milk chocolate, or dried apricots or currants make delicious substitutions for the dark chocolate. Make sure you use just a level tablespoonful of dough for each cookie; that guarantees the not-too-thin, chewy texture that will have you reaching for seconds.

Maple Butter Tarts

Maple Butter Tarts

Oct 22, 2008

The country is divided. No, not just about the Oilers versus the Habs, or the Leafs duelling with the Sens. It's about how you line up when it comes to butter tarts – gooey or custardy? This recipe sides with the custardy, and instead of making bakers choose between nuts or raisins and currants, we've included them all.

Chipotle-Glazed Ribs

Jul 19, 2006

Combining chipotle peppers with red currant jelly gives these ribs a tongue-tingling yet sweet glaze. For a mild version, use only one chipotle. Chipotles are smoked jalape?eppers canned in adobo sauce. If you can't find them, you can substitute any small hot pepper, finely chopped, and 1 tbsp (15 mL) ketchup.

Passover Chocolate Mousse Cake

Passover Chocolate Mousse Cake

The Four Seasons Hotel Toronto has a renowned kosher kitchen that caters everything from weddings and bar and bat mitzvahs to conventions and dinners for hundreds of guests. Executive pastry chef Sitram Sharma shares this layered chocolate cake made especially for Passover with potato flour. "Chocolate is the No. 1 dessert, a very popular item on the kosher menu," he says. Garnish with red currants, red or golden raspberries, quartered strawberries or cape gooseberries.

Eccles Cakes

Eccles Cakes

It all began with a recipe involving a calf's foot filling (the less said, the better), but Eccles cakes are now one of Britain's most famous sweet treats.

Probably more famous than the town from which it comes, the Eccles cake began its rise to popularity in the 1790s in what is now part of Greater Manchester, where bakers James Birch and his apprentice-turned-rival William Bradburn battled for supremacy in the apparently fiercely competitive fruitcake market.

These small round patties of flaky pastry with a currant filling are not to be confused with similar-looking Chorley cakes (less sweet) or Banbury cakes (more oval). Today Eccles cakes hold a special place in the nation's heart, which not even their unappetizing nickname -- "dead fly pies" -- can diminish.
