Looking for local food? Many of our member wineries use as much local produce in their event recipes as is practical. They believe that it is not only the responsible thing to do, but also believe that locally sourced foods are fundamentally superior to those trucked into our region from far away. The Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening connections across the Finger Lakes food system and celebrating local farms, foods, beverages, culinary talent, and businesses. The organization works to promote regional cuisine and agri-tourism, advocate for regional farms and foods, and act as an informational resource for members, residents, and visitors. Check out www.flcb.org to find a current directory and map of local food growers and retailers in the Finger Lakes. And when you see the Finger Lakes Culinary Bounty logo displayed at a business, you know they carry local products. \
WHITE SPRINGS WINERY FOX RUN VINEYARDS Bison Meat Pie 2 lb. Bison Stew Meat (we use what s called trim, good for braising) 2 tsp. kosher salt 25 turns of a black pepper mill 8-10 whole garlic cloves 1 tbsp. fresh thyme, rough chopped 16 oz. Fox Run Lemberger wine 16 oz. water 4 tbsp. butter 1/4 cup Burkett Mills Bessie pastry or all-purpose flour For Pastry Dough: 3 cups Burkett Mills Bessie pastry or all-purpose flour 2 sticks butter, cut into tablespoon sized pieces 2 tsp. kosher salt 3/4 cup whole milk To Braise the Bison: Place the bison in a large covered casserole. Season with salt & pepper. Add the garlic cloves, thyme, Lemberger wine and water. Cook in a preheated 300 F oven for 2 ½ hours or until the meat shreds easily with a fork. Remove the meat from the pan reserving the liquid, shred and place in a mixing bowl. Pour the braising liquid into a 1 quart container and add enough water to make 1 quart of liquid. In a saucepan on medium heat, add the butter and cook until melted. Add the flour and whisk until combined. Cook for 1 minute. Then slowly add the braising liquid and bring to a boil. Whisk vigorously until it thickens slightly. Cool and add the shredded bison. Chill while making the pastry. To Make the Pastry: In a large bowl add the flour, butter and salt. Cut the butter into the flour with fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles flakes the size of a dime. Add the milk and mix until it forms a soft dough that is tacky but not sticky. Dust with additional flour. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll the dough into a 2 cylinder and cut into 4 pieces lengthwise, dust with flour and roll into 1 diameter cylinders. Cut into ¾ slices (1/2 oz.) Roll slices on a flour dusted surface to 1/16. To Build Meat Pies: Place about 1 tablespoon of bison meat in the center of each pastry disc and pinch the edges to form a slightly open pouch. Place on parchment lined or well-greased baking pans. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake at 375 F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. SERENITY VINEYARDS
