Method
- In a pan, bring the apple juice, orange zest, orange juice, cloves and cinnamon to the boil.
- Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool.
- In a separate pan, add the caster sugar and place over a medium heat. Continue to cook until you have light brown caramel.
- Add the onion to the caramel and cook for a further 2 minutes. Then add the apple and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Add the red wine vinegar and stir through. Then turn down the heat.
- Strain the infused juice and stir it into the apple mix. Simmer the mix until it is thick and pulpy. Take it off the heat and pour into sterilised jars. Store in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 3.5, 175˚C, fan 155˚C.
- Begin the cinnamon twists, by using a wooden spoon to beat the butter, caster sugar and cinnamon together.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle of 10 x 20cm and a thickness of ½cm.
- Over the entire surface of the pastry, spread the cinnamon butter and fold in half lengthways. Cut the pastry into 1/2cm strips. Hold each strip between 2 hands and use a twisting motion to make 10 spiral twists.
- Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper and place the cinnamon twists on the tray. Brush the twirls with milk and then cook for 20-25 minutes until the twists are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Eat immediately or store in an airtight container for 3 days.
