White Christmas Pie
-
Description
-
20 years ago Russ and I attended a cooking demonstration where a locally owned restaurant demonstrated one of their top selling pies around the Christmas season. One bite and we were hooked. Sadly, I completely forgot about this recipe until a few days ago… so I decided to pull it out and dust it off!
-
Ingredients
-
2 baked (8”) pie shells (graham cracker crust also works well)
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
1/3 cup lemon juice
-
1/3 cup coconut
-
1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans are my personal favorite)
-
1 can (15 oz) crushed pineapple, well drained
-
1/2 teaspoon pineapple extract
-
1 container (12 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
-
Directions
-
Combine milk, lemon juice, coconut, nuts, pineapple and pineapple flavoring. Stir in whipped topping and pour mixture into pie shells. Chill for 4 hours. 12-16 servings. Note: One 10” pie crust may be substituted for the two 8”. For Christmas, it’s especially festive when you dollop some cherry pie filling on each piece.

Hot Buttered Rum
-
Description
-
I’ve always been a Hot Buttered Rum fan, thanks to my dad. While Russ and were vacationing in New England over the last 2 weeks, I decided to try the Hot Buttered Rum at Maine Craft Distilling in Portland, ME on a very cold day! It was perfect! I’m not sure if Russ liked it, though (he’s not a huge fan of hot drinks)… but I was very happy!
-
Ingredients (4 Drinks)
-
6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
-
3 tablespoons brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
-
1/4 teaspoon allspice
-
Ingredients (1 Drink)
-
1-1/2 tablespoons spiced butter
-
2 ounces rum
-
6 ounces boiling water*
-
Directions (Cocktail)
-
Make the spiced butter: Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice to your softened butter. Use a spatula to mix the butter together with the sugar and spices until everything is incorporated well. Use immediately or refrigerate until making the drinks. To make the drinks: Add 1-1/2 tablespoons of the spiced butter to each glass. Add rum and boiling water and stir until combined. If you like a sweeter drink, top with whipped cream. Note: *Some recipes use apple cider for a sweeter spin. We prefer drinks that are lightly sweet and boiling water is most traditional.

Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey (A Blend)
-
Description
-
The Breckenridge Distillery is the “World’s Highest Distillery”. Founded in 2008, the Breckenridge Distillery is most widely known for its blended bourbon whiskey, a high-rye mash American-style whiskey. Since coming online in 2008 and releasing its first vodka and bourbon three years later, Breckenridge Distillery has quickly become an award-winning producer of fine spirits, being designated one of the top three bourbons in the U.S. How it all came to be, however, stems from a mix of just the right ingredients, a hint of luck and a deep love for quality whiskey. Our award-winning, high-rye Bourbon Whiskey is aged for a minimum of three years, in charred, new American oak barrels, and blended to reveal the unique qualities of the Bourbon Whiskey. Deep, honey-amber hue with pronounced aromas of butterscotch, candied orange and apple; dry cacao and brown sugar envelop the tongue as the spirit lingers with notes of vanilla and white pepper.
