BrEaD & BuTtEr This season, Bread and Butter Wines of California will be exclusively available at Haggen stores. Produced in small quantities in the Napa Valley, the name is a reference to two wine making elements that combine to produce theses beautifully crafted, crowd pleasing wines. Bread refers to the type, toast and time on oak, a process which imparts unique flavors and aromas, while butter refers to malolactic fermentation, a process that adds buttery flavors and textures in a wine. Bread and Butter Wines: simply wonderful.

ChArDoNnAy TASTES LIKE: This beautiful golden yellow toned wine reveals butter, vanilla oak, and citrus, with delicate notes of melon, lemon peel, and jasmine.

PAIRS WITH:

Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes Buttery, creamy Yukon Gold mashed potatoes make the perfect accompaniment to any holiday meal. Moist and fluffy!

Apple Waldorf Salad A classic! Diced apples, raisins, red grapes, walnuts and celery in a slightly sweet, creamy dressing.

The creamy richness of our Chardonnay makes this wine an excellent choice to serve with soft, mild cheeses and appetizers at a holiday gathering. It also pairs well with cream sauces, fish and poultry.

PiNoT NoIr TASTES LIKE: This elegant garnet wine is balanced with flavors of black cherry, orange peel and floral tea with hints of mint, toast, and pepper.

PAIRS WITH: Pinot Noir is always a favorite at the dinner table because it’s a lighter, medium-bodied red wine that won’t overpower foods. It pairs well with roasted turkey, ham and other holiday entrées.

DAZZLING SUGAR COOKIES Classic designs and incredible flavors make this year’s holiday cookies and candies the tastiest gifts of all. by

Lisa

Lisa has been with Haggen since 1992. Over the last 20 years she has worked with the bakeries of our Meridian and Barkley stores (learning her cake decorating skills on the job!) and moved into Human Resources in 1997. A talented baker in her own right, Lisa says she has “been baking at home since I was a kid with my Aunt Marta, but decorating since the “

mid-90s thanks to Haggen.

RoLlEd SuGaR CoOkIeS APPROXIMATELY 4 DOZEN 2" COOKIES 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, room temperature 2 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup shortening 1 tsp salt 1 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla In one bowl cream butter, shortening, sugar, eggs and vanilla together. In a separate bowl mix flour, salt and baking powder. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until well blended. Scrape down bowl and turn dough out onto plastic wrap to form loaf approximately 4" x 12" x 1." Chill dough for several hours until firm…overnight, time permitting. Roll dough on floured surface no less than 1/4" thick. Cut out shapes. Re-form dough from scraps and continue to roll and cut until all dough is gone. Bake at 375° for 6–7 minutes, or until lightly browned at edges.

Mix dough in a stand mixer. It creams and blends ingredients easier than a hand mixer. Make sure to use enough flour so that dough rolls out at a consistent thickness. Use air-bake cookie sheets.

tips 1. Tint frosting using gel paste for bolder colors. Liquid food coloring just waters down the frosting. 2. Change frosting flavor by adding different extracts like almond or peppermint. 3. Add sprinkles before the frosting sets.

vAnIlLa cArAmElS by Lisa APPROXIMATELY 80 PIECES 1 cup butter, cold, cut into pieces 2 cups sugar 1 cup light corn syrup 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk 1 tsp vanilla

StEp 1: COOL OVERNIGHT

In 6 quart stock pot, mix butter, sugar and corn syrup over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and begins to bubble. Stir sweetened condensed milk into sugar and butter mixture quickly and continuously with a heat resistant rubber scraper, until mixture reads 245° on candy thermometer (approximately 20-30 minutes). Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir quickly, then pour into parchment-lined 9"x13" pan. Cool overnight. Lift parchment out onto cutting board. Cut 1" strips then individual pieces. Wrap in wax paper squares.

tips

Prepare pan before you begin. Parchment paper is a must! Candy thermometer is also a must! Stir, stir, stir…mixture can scorch very quickly. 245° is soft caramel…closer to 250° is chewier…any higher and you’re making toffee.
