Steps:
- Render bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add pheasant parts and sear on all sides, then add red wine and onions. Sprinkle cracked pepper, bay leaves, tarragon, salt and mint over pheasant parts. Reduce heat to low and cover pot. Cook until tender and juices run clear (no longer pink), about 25 minutes. Remove pheasant carefully to a utility platter, cover and set aside to keep warm. Transfer liquids from pot to a heat resistant glass container (such as a 2 or 3 cup measuring vessel) and allow the layer of fat to rise to the top. Spoon or pour off most of the fat and return the rest of the juices, herbs, bacon and onions to the pot over medium heat. Add cranberries to the sauce and cook until the berries pop to make a rustic sauce. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves, and whisk in honey and sour cream.
- Arrange pheasant on serving dish, spoon sauce over, and garnish with mint.
ROAST PHEASANT
This is a quick simple recipe for fresh pheasant that has a very autumn feel to it. It is very good with potatoes, carrots and seasonal squash (I like acorn squash) diced and roasted in the pan with it. You can cook it at a higher temperature for a shorter time; just be sure to baste often since it is a very dry meat.

Steps:
- Marinate the pheasant breasts over night (or for as long as possible) in your favorite marinade, or mix together the soy sauce, garlic, onion, honey and vinegar for a yummy asian-inspired marinade.
- Remove pheasants from marinade, and coat in flour. We do not rinse off marinade, or allow to drip off, so that the flour makes a nice coating on the pheasant.
- Heat a frying pan with butter, and place coated pheasant in pan.
- Allow to brown on each side, then add 1/4 cup of chicken broth, or enough to create some liquid on the bottom. Add cilantro.
- Cover and allow pheasant to cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Don't let all the chicken broth cook off, or it could burn. Add more if necessary.
- Once done, take pheasant out of pan, and add chicken broth, a little at a time, scraping the bottom of the pan to create a gravy.
- Serve with rice, or noodles.
- Variations:
- instead of chicken broth, use chicken noodle soup and some water! Or,
- use your favorite marinate. Or,
- after browning, and adding liquid (or soup with some water), put it in a 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes - then proceed as directed.
Tips:
- To ensure the pheasant is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
- For a more flavorful dish, marinate the pheasant in the honey-based mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- If you don't have a roasting pan, you can cook the pheasant in a Dutch oven or a large skillet.
- To add a crispy texture to the pheasant, baste it with the honey mixture every 20 minutes during the roasting process.
- Serve the honey-roasted pheasant with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
