A Seven Springs Twist on Classic Christmas Dishes

All of us have our favorite Christmas dishes that we make and enjoy each year. Whether you love the Ham or the Cranberry sauce the most, each dish is an important part of the Christmas celebration. However, adding a secret ingredient to those classic dishes could make them the best you've ever had. Try these twists on some of our favorite Christmas dishes, using Seven Springs Winery wine as the secret ingredient!

Christmas Goose


 Ingredients: 
  • 1 (10 pound) whole Goose
  • Sea Salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 Orange
  • 1/2 Lemon 
  • 1/2 Granny Smith Apple
  • 2 Tbsp Goose Fat
  • 1 cup Cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1 cup Seven Springs Blushing Springs wine
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger Root, grated
  • 1/4 cup Thinly Sliced Green Onion 
  • 1 Tbsp White Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
Directions: 
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Use a fork to prick the goose all over. Do not go into the meat, just through the skin. Season inside and out with sea salt, and stuff with the orange, lemon and apple.
  3. Tie the wings behind the bird with cooking twine, place breast-side-down into a roasting pan and fill with 1/2 inch of water. 
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes and then remove from oven. 
  5. Turn the goose breast-side-up, and prick the skin with a fork again.
  6. Add water to the pan to bring the level back up to 1/2 inch.
  7. Return the goose to the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone reads 170 degrees F (about 2 hours). 
  8. Remove from the oven and cover loosely with aluminum foil to let rest. 
  9. Spoon 2 Tbsp of goose fat from the roasting pan into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir in the cherries and cook until they've softened and begun to release their juice (about 10 min).
  10. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2 minutes and then stir in the ginger, green onion, sugar, soy sauce and chicken stock. 
  11. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, or to your desired consistency (about 10 minutes). 
  12. Serve the sauce alongside the goose. 


Cranberry Sauce


 Ingredients: 
  • 1 bottle Seven Springs Seven's Read Heaven wine
  • 1 can Whole Cranberries in Sauce

  • 1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
Directions:

Thanksgiving Wine Pairing

Thanksgiving is a time to join with family and celebrate with a large feast.  Many of you may have already started preparing the turkey and baking the pies.  Now comes the real question, what type of wine are you going to serve with your Thanksgiving meal?  Seven Springs Winery is here to help, with the perfect Thanksgiving wine pairings!

Turkey and Stuffing


Red wine is the traditional go-to wine for Thanksgiving dinner and our Seven's Red Heaven is the perfect selection!  The refreshing, crisp fruit flavors pair well with the traditional flavors of turkey and stuffing.

Mashed Potatoes


Syrah also pairs well with the herb-infused stuffing and the dark turkey meat, but best of all it compliments the savory taste of the mashed potatoes.  It brings a spicy edge to the table, increasing the complexity, while graciously handling the cornucopia of traditional Thanksgiving flavors.

Green Bean Casserole


The tropical fruit flavors in our light bodied Muscato Sparkling pair well with green beans and squash. Sparkling wines are the perfect go-to wine because of their high acidity and underlying fruit flavors that help cleanse your palate.

Cranberry Sauce


If you're looking for a white wine, our Chardonel is a great choice!  The fruity with toasted oak flavor makes it an excellent companion for cranberry sauce and white turkey meat.

Pumpkin Pie 


For dessert, we suggest either our Vignoles or Spring Fling white wines.  Their fruity, citrus flavors help bolster the pumpkin pie taste.

In the end it all comes down to your preference and that of your guests.  Keep it simple and have at least one red and one white on hand so that your guests can find something they prefer.  Try to avoid super-dry wines, as they can die in the presence of all that fruit, sugar and salt.  Whether you prefer white or red, a Missouri wine with some fruity flavors is the best option for pairing with Thanksgiving dinner. Stop by our Lake of the Ozarks winery today to stock up on wine for the big dinner tomorrow!

Come for the wine...Stay for the atmosphere...Remember the view!
