Jon and Chris inspecting a tray of cockscombs provided by D' Artagnan that have been candied by simmering for hours in a mixture of blood orange juice, sugar, bay leaves and blossoms, vanilla, and black pepper. Yes, that's right, cockscombs! The red things that sit on top of a roosters head.They are basically pure collagen and have a firm, gelatinous texture. These will be part of the dessert. Yes, dessert.

Don't they look tasty? Like huge, blood orange-flavored gummi's. You can see the vanilla bean and bay leaves sitting among all those cockscombs. Mmmmm...
