• Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

• Bruleed Potatoes

• Ingredients

• 16 ounces frozen hash browns thawed and liquid drained off

• 4 ounces parmesan cheese grated

• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese grated

• 3/4 tsp salt

• 4 ounces chives chopped

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

• Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. The mixture should be slightly runny, add more cream if needed. Transfer to an oven safe baking dish and bake for 30 minutes. Broil about 3 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Notes: Thaw the hash browns and remove as much liquid as possible. To remove the liquid, place the thawed hash browns on a kitchen towel, wrap the towel around them and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. When I made them without thawing the hash browns, they were too runny and not as flavorful. Don’t try to lighten up this recipe. Use the heavy cream! The cream is the key to the success of this recipe You can also make single servings by putting some of the mixture into a small ramekin. Reduce baking time to 15-20 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes.

• Cheryl’s Mixed Drink Corner

• Apple Cider Martini

• Ingredients

• Caramel sauce, for the rim

• Ice, for shaking

• 4 oz. apple cider

• 3 oz. vodka

• 2 oz. butterscotch schnapps

• Sliced apple, for garnish

• Directions

• Place two martini glasses in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes before serving.  Dip the rims of the martini glasses in caramel sauce. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with ice. Add the apple cider, vodka, and butterscotch schnapps. Seal and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Divide the mixture between the prepared martini glasses; garnish with apple, if you like. Tip: Don’t have caramel sauce on hand? Dip the rim of the glass in apple cider and then cinnamon sugar for a sparkly, spicy complement to the martini.

• Russ’s Drink Corner

• Thomas S. Moore Sherry Casks Bourbon

• Description

• Sherry is the classic “alternative” aging cask, a technique borrowed from Scotland, where Spanish sherry casks have been the preferred method of aging by some distilleries since well before ex-bourbon barrels were the international norm. The effect on Barton 1792’s high rye bourbon is stellar, and classically sherry. The company has gone all in on extended barrel aging. Starting in 2021 with three different varieties, the company is back with four new finishes. Each of the base bourbons was aged for 5-6 years before being finished in barrels for another 1-4 years. In Sherry Finished Bourbon’s case, the company finished it for 1-4 years in used barrels that held Oloroso sherry previously.
