Maple Black Walnut Ice Cream

4 cups cream
3 tbsp. brown sugar
5 egg yolks
1 cup Cedar Run Farm Pure Maple Syrup
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
⅛ tsp. salt
1 cup chopped black walnuts

Add the cream and sugar to a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved. When the sugar has dissolved add in the syrup, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Stir to combine and let the mixture cook together for about 5 minutes over medium-low heat.

Prepare the egg yolks for tempering. Whisk them together in a spate, heat safe bowl. To temper, take a cup of the hot cream mixture and SLOWLY pour it into the bowl of yolks, whisking quickly and constantly. You must do this in this manner or you will scramble the yolks. Add about 3 cups of hot mixture to the yolks over time using this method to get the yolks to the right temperature for tempering. Once this is complete, pour the yolks mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture again whisking quickly and constantly.

Once the eggs are fully incorporated the cream mixture, stir continuously over low heat until the mixture has thickened, about 7 to 10 minutes. Once thickened, return to the heat safe bowl. Let the mixture come to room temperature then refrigerate overnight.

Transfer chilled mixture to your ice cream freezer and freeze according to your freezer’s manufacturer directions. Once complete, stir in the chopped walnuts. Store frozen ice cream in a freezer safe container in the freezer. Enjoy!

Maple Citrus Sage Turkey

One 14 pound frozen turkey
2 cups hot water

Dry Rub:
3 tbsp. kosher salt
3 tbsp. Cedar Run Farm Pure Maple Syrup
1 tsp. dried, crushed sage
½ tsp. black pepper

Glaze:
½ cup Cedar Run Farm maple syrup
¼ cup unsalted butter
4 tsp. finely grated orange peel
1 tsp. ground chipotle pepper
1 tsp. pepper

Five days prior to cooking turkey, begin to thaw turkey (2 days) until skin gives to the touch. Mix rub ingredients in small bowl then rub over turkey. Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 more days. Remove plastic wrap the night before roasting.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey. Place hot water in roasting pan with the turkey. Reduce oven temperature to 350 and roast, uncovered for two hours. If the skin browns too quickly in that time, then cover with foil during roasting.

While turkey is roasting, make the glaze. In a small saucepan heat all glaze ingredients until warm.

After the turkey has roasted 2 hours, brush the glaze on the turkey every 20 minutes until the turkey thigh temperature reaches 175 degrees (about another hour). Remove the turkey from the oven and cover loosely with foil allowing turkey to rest for 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Maple Strawberry Shortcake

Shortcake:
2 cups all purpose flour
½ cup sugar plus 2 tbsp
2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp salt
1-¾ cup heavy cream plus 3 tbsp

Maple Berries:
2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 cup Cedar Run Farm Pure Maple Syrup

Fresh Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
⅓ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add heavy cream stirring just until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 12 inch diameter disk. Cut the dough into 6 wedges. Place wedges on a baking sheet. Brush wedges with remaining cream and then sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 25 minutes until wedge are golden and they are firm to touch.

Meanwhile while the cakes are baking, combine the strawberries with the Cedar Run Farm Pure Maple Syrup in a bowl. Allow to macerate while the cakes are baking allowing the juice of the strawberries to marry with the syrup.

To make the fresh whipped cream, first chill your mixing bowl and beater for at least 15 minutes in the freezer (this will shorten the time you will spend beating the cream). Once, the bowl and beaters are chilled, combine the cream and powdered sugar in it then beat at high speed for 2 minutes. Stop and add the vanilla. Continue beating the mixture 1 to 2 minutes more. Stop promptly when soft peaks form.

To assemble the shortcake, slice a cake wedge in half, layer slices of cake with strawberries and then top with the whipped cream.
