BLACK PUDDING
Steps:
- 1 Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease 2 glass loaf pans. (If you don't have glass loaf pans, line metal loaf pans with parchment to keep the blood sausage from reacting with the metal and creating an off-flavor.) Stir 1 teaspoon of salt into the blood.
- 2 Bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil and stir in the oats. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, until just tender, not mushy.
- 3 Pour the blood through a fine sieve into a large bowl to remove any lumps. Stir in the fat, onion, milk, pepper, allspice and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Add the oatmeal and mix to combine. Divide the mixture between the loaf pans, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour, until firm. Cool completely. Seal in plastic wrap and wither freeze for extended use or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- 4 To serve, cut a slice about 1/2-inch thick off the loaf. Fry in butter or oil until the edges are slightly crisped and browned.

BLACK PUDDING - BLOOD SAUSAGE
Black pudding, as made in the UK, is a blend of onions, pork fat, oatmeal, flavorings - and blood (usually from a pig). As long as animals have been slaughtered to provide food, blood sausages like black pudding have been in existence. Other varieties of blood sausage include blodpølse in Norway and Denmark, boudin noir in France, tongeworst (with added pigs tongues) in the Netherlands, zwarte pens or beuling in Belgium, blóðmör in Iceland, boudin rouge in Creole and Cajun areas of the US, morcela and chouriço de sangue in Portugal, morcilla in Spain and Latin America, krvavica in Eastern Europe, sângerete in Romania, prieta in Chile, rellena or moronga in Mexico, doi in Vietnam, ragati in Nepal, mustamakkara in Finland, verivorst and verikäkk in Estonia and kaszanka in Poland. Seasonings and fillers vary from maker to maker and country to country, but black pepper, cayenne pepper, mace, herbs, and coriander are frequently used flavorings. These are added to the blood, oatmeal and suet/fat mixture, which is used to fill the casings. Posted from an online source in response to a recipe request. It isn't an easily made recipe due to lack of sources for absolutely and pristinely fresh ingredients.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 160°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2.
- Assemble meat grinder and prepare the casings: Choose long pieces of the casings so that you have more control over the size of the links that you wish to make.
- Soak the casings in cool water about 5 minutes (more soaking will make the casings very tender and prone to bursting) about an hour in advance of stuffing to remove the salt on the outer surface.
- Rinse under cool running water.
- To remove excess salt from the inside, hold one end of a casing in place on a faucet nozzle and turn on cold tap water to fill the casing with liquid.
- If you spot any holes in the casing at this time, discard or cut the damaged bit off.
- Remove from faucet and squeeze out water; cover the rinsed and drained casings and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly, making sure that the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Fill the casings and make links by twisting the sausage two or three turns at the points where you wish them to be (a 4-inch link is a good snack or lunch size, but smaller ones make good hors d'oeuvres).
- Place into an ovenproof dish with a cover, standing in a larger dish half filled with water.
- Bake for 1½ hours.
- Allow to cool.
- Fry with bacon and eggs for breakfast or use as a part of a Mixed Grill.

BLACK FOREST RICE PUDDING
This creamy rice pudding is made with cooked brown rice and accented with chocolate and cherry flavors. I like it warm but you can serve it however you prefer. If you do serve it cold you might want to decrease the honey slightly (to taste) or replace some of the honey with sugar, since honey's flavor is much bolder when cool.

Steps:
- If you don't have a pressure cooker, soak the rice for 24 hours before cooking.
- Heat the water and rice in a pot and as the water gets hot, add the sugar. Stir until dissolved.
- Break up the cinnamon, crush the cardamom and cloves with a mortar and pestle. Place the spices in a piece of gauze or muslin and form a bag by closing it with a piece of cotton.
- Pressure cooking method: Submerge the spice bag in the mixture and pressure cook for about 30 minutes.
- When the pressure has come down, open the pot and stir any sedimented rice into suspension and then allow to simmer for about 15 minutes without a lid and with regular stirring on a low flame. This will form a syrup.
- While simmeing occasionally press the spice bag against the pot wall so that more of the spice essence is released.
- Mix well and serve or use a measuring jug to transfer the rice to storage containers.
- Simmering method: Note the level of the water in the pot after you have dissolved the sugar and added the spice bag. You will probably need to simmer for at least 90 minutes so occasionally top up the water and stir well.
- Serve hot with a topping of coconut cream.

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 375oF (180oC) and well grease a large brownie style tray (I use a large pyrex dish).
- 2. Strain the cherries (keeping the liquid) and scatter over the base of the tray.
- 3. In a large mixing bowl, blitz the other ingredients for the topping together. It will be rather THICK this is right. Carefully spoon over the cherries and smooth out with the back of a spoon or a fork.
- 4. To make the "Saucy" layer: using a sieve, sieve the cocoa and brown sugar over the cake layer. Please don't miss this part - this prevents cocoa lumps (they are not very nice to eat).
- 5. Gently pour over the boiling water - I pour the water over the back of a spoon so that it falls more gently over the cake and doesn't disrupt the cocoa/brown sugar mixture too much.
- 6. Carefully transfer the pan to the pre-heated oven and bake for 50 - 55 minutes. Leave to cool for a full 10 - 20 minutes before serving.
- 7. This can be served with: chocolate ice-cream, vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream OR if you're celebrating - all of the above! For vegan option - a rich vanilla bean or chocolate soy ice-cream is best (or both!)
