¾ cups confectioner’s sugar

¾ tsp salt

1¼ cups butter, cut in to ½” pieces

FILLING INGREDIENTS

4 cups cherries, fresh or frozen, pitted and cut in half

2 tbsp cornstarch

1 tbsp lemon juice

1½ tbsp granulated sugar

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 °F. Line a 9×9-inch square pan with aluminum foil, then lightly grease.

Add flour, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add in butter and continue to pulse in short bursts, until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Set aside ¾ cup of the shortbread crust mixture. Spread the remaining shortbread crust into the prepared pan, pressing the crumbly dough down with a heavy glass, until dough is an even layer in the pan. Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven.

In a large bowl, mix the halved cherries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and sugar. Spread the cherry filling over the crust. Evenly sprinkle the reserved shortbread crust dough over the top of the cherries.

Cornmeal Blueberry Muffins with Icewine Berry Syrup

CHEF MICHAEL HARRISON, PELLER ESTATES

Yields 12

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cornmeal, fine or medium

1 cup all-purpose flour

⅓ cup white sugar

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 egg, beaten

1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 cup milk

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1 cup mixed berries, chopped

2 bottles Peller Estates Vidal Icewine icing sugar for garnish

To Assemble, heat the muffin in a microwave for 10 seconds at a time until warm. Drizzle the Icewine berry syrup over top and garnish with icing sugar.

17 g baking soda

600 g sugar

½ tsp salt

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp ground allspice

¾ tsp ground ginger

BROWN BUTTER CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM

283 g brown butter, room temperature

565 g cream cheese, room temperature

½ tbsp vanilla extract

+ 1 tbsp

1250 g powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

to make the cake:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift all the dry ingredients together. Combine the oil, sugar, molasses into the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment. Add the eggs and beat to combine. Once combined, add the carrot. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined and no clumps remain. Pour mixture into a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper and a sheet extender that has been greased. If you do not have a sheet tray and extender you can use a prepared baking pan in the same manner. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, let cool and remove from tray.

to make the buttercream:

Beat the butter and cream cheese on high in a stand mixed with the paddle attachment until smooth and combined. Stop the mixer and add in the vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar. Mix on low until it starts to come together and then turn the speed up to high and beat until smooth.

There are a few options to ice and serve the cake. Cut the cake in half and frost the top of one half, then stack on top and frost again, cut into squares or rectangles to serve. Or, pipe the icing onto the top of the cake, cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Or, using a ring cutter, cut the cake into rounds, frost and stack. Depending on what cutter you use you can also create small dessert canapés or a larger cake.

Thirty Bench Sparkling Riesling

Thirty Bench Small Lot Wild Cask Riesling

Gateau Basque

Serves 6-8

CAKE INGREDIENTS

1 cup butter, unsalted, softened

1¾ cups granulated sugar, plus 2 tbsp

3 egg yolks, large

3 eggs, large, divided

3¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1½ tsp kosher salt

1 tbsp water

CUSTARD FILLING INGREDIENTS

11/2 cups whole milk

¾ cups 35% whipping cream

2 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup cornstarch

3 tbsp all-purpose flour

6 egg yolks, large

2 eggs, large icing sugar for garnish

DIRECTIONS

to make the custard:

Add the whole milk, heavy cream and vanilla to a medium saucepan over medium heat and heat until very hot but do not let it scald or boil. To a medium bowl, add the sugar, cornstarch, flour, egg yolks, and eggs, whisk to combine. One ladle at a time, add the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture continuously whisking until it is fully incorporated. Return the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until bubbly and thick. This step will take some time, be patient, to avoid scrambling the eggs. Remove the pan from the heat and strain through a mesh strainer into a bowl or flat container, cover the container with plastic wrap and pat it down onto the pastry cream so it is touching it, this will prevent a skin from forming. Let the pastry cream cool to room temperature; this can be made a day in advance if you’d like to chill overnight.

to make the cake:

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until fluffy, scrape down the sides as needed. Add the large egg yolks, and two whole eggs, one at a time to the creamed butter. Add the next egg after they are fully incorporated, scrape the bowl between each addition. Reduce the mixer speed to low and begin to add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients.

Continue to mix until a dough just begins to form. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into 2 discs, wrap each disc in plastic wrap and let rest for at least an hour.

Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust it with flour to prevent sticking, set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll one disc out with a rolling pin to a 12-inch circle, transfer the dough into the prepared springform pan, pressing into the bottom and up the sides. This dough can be fragile if too thin, you can patch cracks and holes with scrap pieces of dough. Once done, let rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Pour the pastry cream filling into the chilled crust and refrigerate for another 30 minutes. Roll the remaining dough into a 12-inch circle and place over top, pinch and crimp the edges to seal the cake, and then cut off any excess. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before baking.

Set the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water to make an egg wash, brush the surface of the cake with the wash, place the springform pan on the center rack and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue to bake for 25 minutes. The cake should be golden brown, if it starts to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil and continue to bake.

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes remove the ring from the pan and allow it to cool on the wire rack. Transfer the cake to a serving dish and dust with the icing sugar to serve.

While waiting for the cake to cool, place the frosting ingredients into a steel bowl over a double boiler and heat. Stir to fully incorporate. Once combined, chill covered in the refrigerator until partially set but spreadable, approximately 20-30 minutes. To assemble, remove the cakes from cake pans, discard the parchment paper. Slightly shave the top of each cake to create a flat surface, break up the trimmings into crumbs. Spread the frosting over the first layer of the cake, place the second on top, add another layer of frosting, and dust with the cake crumbs. Cut and serve.
