A is for Apple... Finger Lakes Cider Week



  • A is for Apple. Apple harvest is upon us and we're anxious to incorporate crisp New York State apples in our fall dinner menu offerings. There are so many good orchards nearby: Bakers' Acres, Cornell Orchards, Little Tree, Indian Creek, Eve's Cidery...
  • It's difficult not to put them in every thing. But one of our favorites is apple sauce. We serve it warm over French toast for our Bed and Breakfast guests' breakfast. We serve it with local, organic, Berkshire pork loins and chops as a dinner special. We even serve it with cinnamon grilled chicken. We think apple sauce is the ultimate Finger Lakes comfort food. We usually use Cortland or Empire apples and just a few other basics (no scavenger hunt for obscure ingredients necessary). Just remember, A is for apple. Simple is Good.

  • Rogues' Harbor Inn House Apple Sauce:

  • 3 Lbs  New York State apples - peeled, cored and chopped
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup New York State maple syrup
In a deep saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes uncovered, stirring often, or until apples are soft. Refrigerate when cool.

To show our support for local apple growers, cider producersand further indulge our apple obsession, We'll be participating in Finger Lakes Cider Week, October 2 - October 7, 2012.

New Entry at the Inn

Image
We are feeling very pleased with our new (and long overdue) entry. We are honored to know a local master craftsman that resurfaced the concrete steps, repaired the decorative woodwork, repaired the roof, and forged two wrought iron railings. It's very rewarding to repair/replace things on this beautiful building and make them look like they once did with quality design, materials and craftsmanship. It's always a challenge to decide (and budget) what is worth keeping or replicating and what isn't. We usually decide to keep or replicate. We want everything to look as original as possible. We had to have two columns replaced/replicated. We think they look spot on. Maybe we are the only ones that know which are new...and we think the wrought iron railings are much like what would have been in place originally. We should post "before" photos, but it was ugly. We always focus on the positive and progress, so we are only posting the demo, in progress, and the beautiful

One of Our Winter Projects

Image
Room 9 was just refreshed and redecorated: new beautiful king size brass bed, new cute farmhouse distressed night stands, new table and ladder back chairs (with funky blue and white modern fabric seats), fresh paint all around, new cushy carpet, gorgeous East Lake marble top dresser, and even new room darkening drapes. I do love to refresh guest rooms. To see the finished room and to have guests love it as much as I do is a wonderful feeling. We always have a list of winter (slow season) projects, but this was my favorite this year. It's a hit with guests too :)
