Serves 4
Ingredients
4 cups fresh Chilean cherries, divided
½ teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1-2 teaspoons sugar, depending on the natural sweetness of the cherries

1 teaspoon light agave nectar or confectioner’s sugar
4 sprigs of fresh mint
Instructions
Remove pits from 1 cup of the cherries place them in a small food processor, with lemon zest and sugar. Blitz, then set sauce aside while you prep the rest of the dish.
Save 4 of your prettiest whole cherries and set aside for garnish later. Remove pits from remaining cherries and slice into halves.
Whip the cream, then add agave/sugar and vanilla. Taste and adjust flavor to your liking. (Keep in mind that if you’re working very sweet, ripe cherries you may not want to add any sweetener to the whipped cream.)
Gently scoop and layer your whipped cream, cherry sauce and fresh cherries. Top each fool with a sprig of mint and a beautiful whole cherry. Serve right away or you can make the fools in advance, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until dessert time.
HOLIDAY BOURBON CHERRIES

one cinnamon stick per jar
1 1/2 -2 cups Bourbon
½ cup genuine maple syrup
Zest of one orange, peeled into long, curling strips
Instructions
Tightly pack your little gift jars with cherries and a cinnamon stick. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine bourbon, maple syrup and zest of one orange. Bring to a simmer and stir to integrate the ingredients.
Pour hot bourbon mixture into each jar fully submerging the cherries. (If you find yourself in need of a little extra liquid, heat a little extra bourbon to top it off.)
Cover each jar and keep it on the counter for 24 hours at room temp allowing the cherries to cure.
Transfer jars to the refrigerator until use. The flavors will only deepen over time.
Keep refrigerated and use within 1 month.
Note: A jar of these cherries makes a wonderful holiday gift. They are a delicious addition to any festive cocktail and are wonderful served over a bowl of vanilla ice cream!

Is beef on your menu? Of course! And of course you want it to come out perfectly! Our quality Certified Angus Beef is specially selected to insure you are getting the best beef possible.
The Chefs at Certified Angus Beef would like to share some great tips for for roasting.

Roast Perfect: time and temperature
A beef roast will take center stage on your dinner table, whether you’re serving family or a gathering of friends and colleagues. To ensure it’s just right, begin with high heat, then cook it low and slow.
High heat creates a crunchy, flavorful crust on the outside of the roast. The contrast of crisp exterior to a tender, mouthwatering interior is what our palates crave. As a general rule, follow these roasting tips for a perfectly prepared beef roast:
Preheat the oven to 450°. Cook the roast at this high heat for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325°F for the remainder of your cooking time. Then use an instant-read thermometer to cook roast according to recipe instructions or to your desired doneness.
Rare (125°F, 52°C) — Cool red center
Medium Rare (135°F, 57°C) — Warm red center
Medium (145°F, 63°C) — Warm pink center
Medium Well (150°F, 66°C) — Slightly pink center
Well Done (160°F, 71°C) — Little or no pink
