  4. Stir any “sticky” bits in the pan loose and, if necessary, use a very little of the port wine to deglaze the casserole. Add the remaining oil and return to a medium-high heat. Fry the bacon pieces until beginning to crisp, then add the onions, shallots and garlic for another 4 minutes, only stirring to avoid sticking, until softened but not burnt. Add the celery and mushrooms and stir gently but thoroughly.
  5. Return the pheasant to the pan and pour over the port, stock and satsuma juice/rind and sprinkle in the rosemary. Add the parsnip and carrots and bring to the boil. Add a little seasoning, the bay leaves and the redcurrant jelly and stir all thoroughly. Cover the casserole and place in the pre-heated oven.
