Turn the pheasants onto their breast side to colour for a further 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; transfer to your roasting tin and cook for 30 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time. To check the pheasant is correctly cooked, you can use a meat thermometer \u2013 the breast temperature for a cock pheasant should reach 63C\/145F and for a hen 60C\/140F. (The leg temperature should reach 80-82C\/175-180F.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>When cooked, set the pheasant aside in a warm place, covered, to rest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to make the Jus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spoon out the fat from the pan and add the wine, port, juniper and thyme into the roasting pan. On a high heat quickly cook until the volume of liquid has reduced by one third. Scrape the caramelised juices off the bottom of the pan to make the jus. Taste and season if necessary. Strain and reserve in a warmed jug.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the bread sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a small saucepan on a low heat(no 5 on your hob)\u00a0 gently heat the butter and fry the onion with the herbs, crushed cloves and salt for two minutes, or until soft. Add the bacon lardons and continue to cook uncovered for one minute.<\/p>\n<p>Add the milk, bring to a simmer and stir in the pieces of bread until the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.<\/p>\n<p>To serve, carve the pheasant and serve it over a mound of bread sauce with the jus poured over.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp;
