In a medium saucepan, caramelize the sugar, orange and lemon zest, cardamom, pink peppercorns, and cubeb berries. |
The goal here is essentially to dehydrate the vegetables and caramelize the outside at the same time. |
The various types of sugar differ noticeably in the extent to which they caramelize. |
If you overcook your jam, the sugar will caramelize and it won't taste good and there's nothing you can do. |
Reduce to a simmer and leave, approximately 30 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the mixture starts to caramelize. |
Add guinea hen jus, olives, artichokes, fennel and pearl onions and caramelize. |
