about 5 minutes or until bubbles start to turn foamy and syrup is slightly thickened when you drizzle it from a spoon (watch carefully as it will bubble up). 2 Carefully pour in whipping cream, while stirring. Return to a boil. Boil, stirring, for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. Trans- fer to a heatproof measuring cup or bowl, place plastic wrap directly on the surface and let cool until just warm and thick. Do not stir while it cools as that can cause it to crystalize. (Syrup can be cooled and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Warm in a saucepan over medium-low heat just until fluid before serving.). Drizzle over each slice of pie. Makes about 3/4 cup (175 mL) LACY CHEDDAR CRISPS It’s quite amazing that a garnish with just one ingredient can add such drama to a slice of pie. Use an extra-old, one- or two-year-old cheddar for the best texture and taste. Less- aged cheese can be oily and doesn’t crisp up quite enough. Keep the cheese in the fridge until you’re ready to grate and bake it so it doesn’t soften. 2 oz (55 g) extra-old or older cheddar cheese, cold 2 Shred cheese on the fine shredding (not grating) side of a box cheese grater. You should have about 2/3 cup (150 mL) unpacked. 3 Gently sprinkle onto prepared baking sheet in a 9-inch (23-cm) square, ensuring it is even with no large clumps of cheese and no large spaces between the cheese. 4 Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, watching carefully, until evenly golden and starting to firm up. Re- move from oven and let cool for 20 seconds. 5 Immediately use a large sharp knife and a firm downwards pressure to cut the square in half, then cut each half into 4 triangles. Do not attempt to move the cheese. Let cool com- pletely on baking sheet on a wire rack. Once cool and crisp, gently cut again, if necessary, to separate the triangles. (The crisps can be stored in a cookie tin at room temperature for up to 3 days.) 6 Perch a crisp on each slice of pie, or arrange decoratively on whole pie. Makes 8 crisps 1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
