Steps:
- Combine stock, bay leaves, thyme, port, ginger, and jam in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until stock has reduced to 1 cup, about 1 hour. Remove from heat, strain, and transfer to a clean small saucepan. Set aside.
- Combine peppercorns, juniper berries, and rosemary in a spice grinder. Grind, allowing some texture to remain.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a large roasting pan in the oven. Salt both sides of each rack well, and rub the ground spice mixture into the meat.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Place both racks in skillet, and brown each side, about 2 minutes per side, using tongs to maneuver racks in skillet. Transfer racks to the preheated roasting pan.
- Roast venison 30 to 35 minutes for medium rare. Remove roasting pan from oven, and transfer meat to a cutting board to rest 15 minutes.
- Return sauce to a boil. In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 teaspoons butter with flour; mix until a paste forms. Reduce heat, stir in cranberries; let simmer until berries are soft and sauce is glossy. Whisk in the butter mixture. Serve the red-currant-and-cranberry sauce with the venison.
ROASTED RACK OF VENISON AND SHALLOTS WITH DRIED-CRANBERRY GRAVY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a roasting pan large enough to hold the venison racks without crowding them, toss the shallots with 2 tablespoons of the oil and salt and pepper to taste and roast them in the middle of the oven, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden. Pat the venison dry, season it with salt and pepper, and rub it generously with the additional oil. Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until it is hot and in it sear the venison on all sides. Push the shallots to the sides of the roasting pan, stand the venison racks in the middle of the pan, allowing the bones to rest together, and roast the mixture in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 125°F., for rare meat. Transfer the racks with shallots to a platter and let them stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. To the roasting pan add the broth, the wine, the water, and the juniper berries and simmer the mixture, scraping up the brown bits, for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve set over a small saucepan, whisk the cornstarch mixture, and add it to the saucepan with the cranberries, the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the gravy, whisking, for 5 minutes. Cut the venison into individual chops and serve it with the shallots and the gravy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay the carrots, star anise and butter in a roasting tin. Sprinkle with a little flaky salt and roast for 30 mins. While the carrots cook, crush the juniper berries using a pestle and mortar, then add 1 tsp salt, the thyme and 4 tbsp rapeseed oil.
- Rub the mix all over the venison racks, then sear in a large, hot frying pan for 4 mins until they are evenly coloured all over. Lower the oven temperature to 60C/40C fan/gas 1/4, put the racks on top of the carrots, bone-side up, and roast for 2 hrs. At this low temperature an electric oven will be more accurate (if using gas, check regularly).
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Fry the shallot in the remaining oil in a saucepan over a medium heat until softened. In a separate saucepan, reduce the stock to 300ml, then pour it over the shallot with the sloe gin. Bring to a simmer and reduce slightly. Stir in the blackberries in the final few mins to heat through, then serve.

Steps:
- Place the wine, garlic, half the peppercorns, the bay leaves, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste in a deep dish that will hold the venison. Place the venison in the bowl, turn it to coat all sides, cover it and refrigerate overnight. Turn the meat a few times while it is marinating.
- Place the cranberries in a non-reactive saucepan. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, ginger, five-spice powder and remaining peppercorns. Bring to a simmer and cook slowly, stirring from time to time, about 20 minutes. The cranberries should be soft and there should be enough liquid in the pan just to moisten them. Remove from the heat and set aside until serving time.
- About two hours before serving remove the venison from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan so it comes to room temperature. Strain the marinade, place it in a saucepan and cook over high heat until the marinade is reduced to about three-fourths cup. Add the beef broth, cook the mixture down until there is about three-fourths cup, then season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the venison in the oven and roast it about 12 minutes per pound for medium rare. It should register 120 degrees when an instant-read thermometer is inserted in the thick part of the meat, not touching any bone.
- Remove the meat from the oven and allow it to stand at room temperature 20 minutes before carving. Warm the dried-cranberry mixture and transfer it to a serving dish. Reheat the sauce made from the marinade. Check the seasonings again.
- Cut the venison into individual chops. If the butcher has cracked the large bone between the chops, cutting the chops should be extremely easy.
- Serve the venison moistened with some of the reheated sauce and with the cranberry mixture on the side.

ROASTED VENISON WITH FRESH CRANBERRY SAUCE
There's so much more to venison than tenderloins or burger. Many people don't realize that venison can be roasted successfully without making it tough or leathery; the key is to provide some of the fat that this extra-lean meat doesn't usually contain, and to sear the meat first before following it up with a slow roast at lower heat. I hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spread garlic all over venison roast, season with salt and pepper, and place in a roasting pan.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook and stir 1/2 cup onion, cilantro, sage, and basil until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the roast.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Add remaining 2 cups onion, orange juice, and cranberries to the roasting pan; reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Continue to roast, basting frequently, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 140 degrees F for medium rare, about 1 hour. Remove the roast from the pan; cover to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
- Pour beef stock into the roasting pan, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue boiling until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Skim off any fat; stir in the jelly and sherry. Continue to boil until the sauce is slightly thickened and evenly coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED RACK OF VENISON AND POMEGRANATE SAUCE
Venison is naturally lean, has no internal fat, and is especially suited to a quick, high-heat roast. The coating's assertive mix of juniper berries and Szechuan and black peppercorns locks in the meat's juices. Each chop is drizzled with a ruby-red sauce made from the pan juices and sweet-tart pomegranate juice, available in specialty and gourmet stores.

ROASTED RACK OF VENISON
This is based on a recipe from the book, Venison, Recipes from the Readers of Sports Afield, a book my DH and I purchased recently at LL Beans in Freeport, Maine. Henry Sinkus, its editor says, "Simple and elegant, serve with fresh vegetables and steamed potatoes." Even in Maine this isn't a cheap dish -- we serve it around the holidays.

ROAST RACK OF VENISON
Venison is a delicacy, virtually no fat content, and thanks to farm-raised deer, you don't have to wait for hunting season to enjoy. It is very expensive to purchase, but on special occasions, you are worth it. I have prepared this venison recipe for Christmas dinners, and for my birthday dinners several times. If you were to consider the cost of restaurant fare for a birthday dinner, venison purchase is not prohibitive; and after all that wine and champagne, you don't have to drive home. I came upon this recipe in the supplement of "Winter, 1988 issue of Toronto Life Epicure" in which was featured Season's Best Festive Menus, both simple and elaborate. it is the best supplement I have ever seen, and guard it jealously, with my collection of cook books and "found" recipes. Prep. time includes the marinating process. Serve venison with Recipe #63146, Recipe #63147, and Recipe #63148. Wine suggestion: an earthy red Rhone followed by champagne with dessert.
