Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Butter a piece of kitchen foil and wrap the Yorkshire pot completely.
  • Place leek halves in a roasting tin, top with the wrapped pot, and roast for 150 minutes.
  • Remove the pot from the oven and discard the foil.
  • Increase oven temperature to 200°C.
  • Roast pot for 15 more minutes until golden and juices run clear from the center.
  • Rest the meat for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Boil halved potatoes in salted water for 4 minutes and drain.
  • Fry potatoes in melted lard on the hob until they start to brown.
  • Season potatoes with salt and roast in the oven at 200°C for 60 minutes.
  • Infuse milk with clove-studded onion in a bowl over simmering water until just below boiling.
  • Discard the onion and cloves while keeping the milk over the heat.
  • Whisk in breadcrumbs until the sauce thickens.
  • Season with nutmeg, salt, white pepper, and cayenne.
  • Stir in butter and double cream until melted then keep warm.
  • Boil cranberries, apples, water, cloves, and cinnamon in a saucepan.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes until fruit is tender and berries split.
  • Strain the mixture through a muslin-lined sieve into a bowl without pressing the fruit.
  • Mix in sugar and vinegar.
  • Heat liquid to 104°C, cool, then transfer to a sterile jar.
  • Boil sprouts in salted water for 10 minutes and drain.
  • Fry pancetta in olive oil until crisp and golden.
  • Toss sprouts with the cooked pancetta to warm through.
  • Carve meat slices and serve with potatoes, sprouts, bread sauce, and jelly.
