Help with a recipe for Christmas. Orange nutmeg molasses glazed quail? Idk if it would even work.

Forgive me if this isn't the right subreddit.

I'm a pretty good cook when it comes to following recipes, but I honestly don't have enough experience to come up with one of my own. For christmas I want to do something special for my sister and I. We are home alone, as our family has work and we cant afford to fly.

So we came up with an idea for a recipe. Orange and nutmeg glazed quail. Perfect portions for two. Very christmassy flavors. Also, the asian markets dont close for Christams so we can easily get quail.

So... based off of another fruit juice glazed quail recipe I've used, would you all think this is doable?

Glaze-

Carmelize 2 tbsp sugar in a small sauce pan

Slowly add 2 cups orange juice

Reduce to 1/4cup and add nutmeg and ginger

For the quail I would be soaking 4 of them in brine for about 1 hour, patting dry, browning on a pan, then glazing them with the orange nutmeg ginger [molasses?] glaze and transferring them to the oven for 4 mins, glazing again, and then cooking until done.

If anyone has any input, any way I can make this perfect, I would really appreciate it! Like can I even make an orange molasses? I've never worked with orange juice before so I'm sure I've gotten some core thing wrong. Help!



bon appetit
