crush beer and wine tours

By JENNIFER BARLOW | MESSENGER POST MEDIA

As autumn approaches, breweries and wineries

are in full bloom showcasing their finest. Many
people love going through the Finger Lakes to
taste the finest wines and brews.
One local couple has taken this love to a new
level and is sharing their passion for tasting
wines with others.
Mary and Russell Russo founded Crush Beer and
Wine Tours, a hand crafted beer and wine tour
company, because of their love of the Finger
Lakes Wine Region.
The idea came to them several years ago when
they visited the Niagara on the Lake region. They
fell in love with not only the areas wine, but the
guided wine tours and atmosphere as well. The
company they first ran into on the Niagara was
called Crush on Niagara Wine Tours.
Mary and Russell are big fans of all wines
especially the Finger Lakes Rieslings and ice
wines. And, not only did they enjoy visiting
several wineries in the Niagara area, they were

excited about learning the stories behind

the wineries, the wines and the region. Once
they visited the area again, Mary had the
idea to start a similar business in the Finger
Lakes region.
So, the Russos began their tour company for
Finger Lakes wine lovers. They want Crush
Beer and Wine Tours to express their passion
for what they have learned, as well as,
educating customers about how the regions
best vine wines are produced and the variety
of tastes that can be found in the area.
But most of all the couple wants to make
sure that all of their customers enjoy the
tours the way they enjoy them!
Mary and Russell pride themselves on the
all-inclusive price, guided tours, convenient
pick-up and drop-off locations, along with
custom planned itineraries that hit all areas
of the Finger Lakes Region, seven days
a week. Call the Russos soon, they look
forward to seeing you on their next tour!

HALLOWEEN TREATS

tiptoe through the tombstones

Have your cemetery and eat it, too!

By Margaret Maples | More Content Now

ouve traded
risky trick-ortreating for a
safer Halloween party
for your kids, and now
youre trying to avoid
the curse of being
too tame. Amp up
the icky-scary with an
edible cemetery. Thats
disgusting, you say?
Exactly! And your kids
will love it. The idea of
noshing on a graveyard
will very likely inspire a
few delighted ewws at
first, but our cake has a
cartoonish quality thats
filled with good spirits.
FOOD STYLING AND PHOTOS BY MARGARET MAPLES/MORE CONTENT NOW.

Carve the headstones

Youll need white fondant and food coloring in black and orange. I used gel color
because it produces intense hues. Your local craft store should carry these items.
While youre there, you can stock up on fake bats, skulls and spiders. Even zombies.
Think ghoulish. Homemade headstones start on paper, so sketch a few and cut
them out. For marble, knead a double handful of white fondant until its soft.
Fondant is edible, and you can work in flavoring at this stage to improve its bland
personality. Use a rolling pin to flatten the fondant to about 3/8-inch thick. Place
the tombstone patterns on it and chisel them out with a small knife. Lay your new
headstones on a cookie sheet for easier handling. This cemetery is supposed to
look old, so mix a wash of black food color and water and use it to paint on a few
centuries of weather stains and moss. Chip off a few corners. Carve fake inscriptions
and accent them with color. Now you have a full tray of grave markers.

Paint it black and a little orange

To make the cemetery ground, use your favorite recipe or store-bought mixes to
make a 9-x-13-inch sheet cake. Ours has a deep chocolate bottom layer and, on
top, a vivid orange one, thanks to orange food coloring added to white or yellow
cake batter. Finish with chocolate frosting dyed very black and vanilla frosting
tinted brilliant orange shades worthy of Halloween. With the cake frosted, its
time to mark the graves. As you set the tombstones, remember their great age. Let
them tilt, as if theyre about to fall over in soft ground. Like many old cemeteries,
this one is crowded, but youll still have room for a skeleton and a bat or two. And
dont forget those spiders!

Bite-size graves
If cupcakes suit your party style better than a sheet cake, its easy to adjust. I made black
and orange minis and set a small grave marker on each one. I sampled a headstone, and
even though Id made it myself, I have to admit that biting into that little R.I.P. raised
the hairs at the base of my neck. Just for a second. Your young guests will be thrilled!

AUTUMN FLAVORS

simple ways to infuse fall flavor

BY FAMILY FEATURES
Theres no time like fall to experiment with new recipes, especially those savory and sweet
comfort dishes that highlight the seasons favorite fruit apples. Delicious when spread
over a warm slice of fresh-baked bread, apple butter is also an unexpected but ideal
ingredient for creating rich flavors in baked, cooked and grilled dishes that add warmth
to any meal.
Traditional apple butter is made by simmering apples long and slow in kettles with sugar,
apple cider and spices. This classic Pennsylvania Dutch spread is essentially a concentrated,
spiced apple sauce and contains no dairy butter. The classic brown color reflects the apples
sugar caramelizing during the slow cooking process.

While apple butter makes an excellent spread, with up to 70 percent fewer calories than
peanut butter and traditional dairy butter, its also an easy way to instantly introduce fall
flavors into your favorite dishes, whether dinner or dessert.
Bring the flavors of fall to your table with these simple, homestyle recipes. One blends the
spicy notes of apple butter with pork in a simple, comforting crockpot dinner. The other
offers a sweet apple-infused twist on traditional pecan rolls made even easier with
Musselmans Apple Butter which is made the old-fashioned way for perfect texture and
taste. Its never been easier to whip up comfort cuisine right in your own kitchen. For more
recipes featuring apple butter, visit www.musselmans.com.

Shredded Apple Pork

1 C. apple butter
1/4 C. apple cider vinegar
1/4 C. brown sugar
2 T. minced garlic

1 medium onion, chopped
6 boneless pork chops

In a small bowl, whisk together

first seven ingredients. Place
apples and onions in slow cooker.
Add pork chops and pour apple
butter mixture over the top. Cook
on low for 5-6 hours covered. Shred
pork with two forks in cooker, and
let meat marinate on low in the
sauce for 20 minutes, uncovered.
Serve warm over rice or mashed
potatoes. Serves 6.

Pecan Rolls
3 T. butter
1/3 C. brown sugar
1 T. maple syrup
