Battle 16: Chestnuts and Kumquats
This battle turned out to be quite the challenge. Turns out I guess kumquats and chestnuts are not available yet in some areas so you might see some substitutions in the recipes below. The posts all explain it though, so make sure to check them out before voting! I can personally vouch that the competitors all emailed me and tried their best.
Anyway, on with battle!
A Food Coma – Warm Duck Salad with Chestnut, Orange and Pear
The Constant Craver – Crisp Seasonal Pork Dumplings with Kumquat Infused Dipping Sauce
Cooking with Michelle – Chestnut Stuffing with Kumquat and Cranberry Relish
Joylicious – Chestnut Brulee with Brandied Oranges
Kitchen Butterfly – Kumquat & Chestnut Rice Pudding Pie
As you may have noticed, we did have one entry drop out, but that’s okay. The other five contestants really brought it!
Our judges for this battle will be last battle’s winner, Isabelle from Good Food, Good Wine and a Bad Girl and Tina from Carrots ‘N’ Cake!
So check out all the great posts and as always, use the below poll to vote for your favorite. The poll will close tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6PM EST. And come check out the winners on Thursday morning!
