Place the seasoned livers into a 5-cup ceramic terrine, pour the port over the livers, and allow the terrine to marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours, or overnight.<br /><br />Preheat the oven to 350F. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the marinated terrine in a large pan and carefully pour the boiling water into the large pan, 2/3 of the way up the terrine, to make a hot water bath. Cook the terrine in the water bath in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the terrine from the oven and allow it to cool for 2 hours.<br /><br />Strain the livers, reserving the cooking liquid. Gently place the cooked livers back into the terrine and place a weighted lid on top of the foie gras so that it compresses down into the terrine. (Cut a piece of heavy-weight cardboard, fold parchment around it, and weigh down your makeshift lid with something small and heavy, such as a can.) Chill the terrine with the weighted lid and the reserved cooking liquid for 24 hours.<br /><br />After 24 hours have passed, skim the congealed fat off the reserved cooking liquid and melt it. Remove the weighted lid from the terrine and pour a small amount of melted fat over the surface of the foie gras, just enough to create a flat surface. Replace the lid and continue chilling the cinnamon foie gras for 3 to 4 days (for best flavor) or up to 8 days.<br /><br />Unmold the chilled foie gras and serve it with slices of country bread and fig spread.<br /><br />This cinnamon foie gras recipe makes 6 to 8 servings...enjoy this <span style="font-weight: bold;">French recipe</span> !!<br /><a href="http://french-recipe.blogspot.com/2008/08/avocado-romaine-salad-recipe.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">french-recipe :avocado-romaine-salad-recipe.</span></a>Our Food Recipeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11193397206633801481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109378877382258752.post-58690187102831156252012-01-26T16:40:00.000-08:002012-01-28T16:56:21.205-08:00French Raspberries with Balsamic Glaze Recipe (APP)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/STCQOsrV1fI/AAAAAAAABms/jfL3QaNk8xg/s1600-h/balsamic_raspberries.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5n0gEy2ckAU/STCQOsrV1fI/AAAAAAAABms/jfL3QaNk8xg/s200/balsamic_raspberries.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273873745836365298" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><br />French Raspberries with Balsamic Glaze Recipe</span> (APP)<br /><br />This amazing French recipe of raspberries with balsamic glaze has a secret: crushed raspberries.
