Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Apple Cider - 1 Quart
Apple Cider Vinegar - 3 oz
Sauteed Shallots - 1 Each
Dijon Mustard - 1 Tbsp
Sunflower Oil - 1 Pint

Start by reducing the apple cider from 1 quart down to 8-10 ounces, to strenghthen the flavor and improve the viscosity. While the cider reduction cools, saute the shallot on medium-low until aromatic and translucent. Once those two items have cooled, add all ingredients to your blender except for the oil. Make sure your blender is on low with the lid on. Start blending your ingredients on low, work up to medium and eventually on high. Slowly add your sunflower oil with the blender running on high. Once the oil is gone, keep it running for a few seconds to be sure the oil is well incorporated.

Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat and allow the pears to cool in the sugar syrup. To check if they are cooked, take a paring knife, and push it into the middle of the fruit. If the pears feel soft, they are cooked. They can be served hot or cold.

Creme Brulee

Creme Brûlée

Amaretto and Vanilla Bean Custard, Carmelized Sugar

Vanilla Custard

Ingredients:
Heavy Whipping Cream - 2 cups
Amaretto Liqueur - 2 Tbsp
Almond Extract - 1/2 tsp
Egg Yolks - 6 Each
Vanilla Beach (split and scrapped)
Sugar - 1/2 cup + 4-6 Tbsp for topping

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

In a saucepan, bring cream, Amaretto, Vanilla Bean, and almond extract to a boil. Scold the cream.

Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Slowly whisk the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture until well blended, gradually adding the hot liquid so the eggs don't cook.

Place 4-5 shallow individual 6 to 8-ounce baking dishes in a large baking or roasting pan. Pour cream mixture into the baking dishes. Pour boiling water into the baking dish to about halfway up the small baking dishes.

Carefully place the pan in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the centers barely move. You may have to adjust the baking time, depending on the size/depth of the baking dishes. Cool the creme brulee, then chill overnight.

Sprinkle each creme brulee with 2-3 teaspoons of sugar. Carefully torch to melt the sugar, moving and taking care not to burn. Move in a circular motion, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

Garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries.
