Rootwood Report No. 7 - Golden Delicious Risotto
It’s officially fall, which means we can finally incorporate apple and pumpkin into any and every recipe and it is socially acceptable! A truly special time of year, if we do say so ourselves.
Since we have apples and cider at the ready, we decided to give this Golden Delicious Risotto a try. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of dry cider, so we opted for the Bin 18, which lent a nice but subtle kick to the Arborio rice. Side note - you’re in for about 20 minutes of stirring, so get your forearms ready.

Rootwood Report No. 6 - Flour on my growler
Anyone who has been around Rootwood the past few years might have learned that we like to bake. Sometimes we follow recipes ( >5%), but most of the time we improvise. It can’t be helped! For us, recipes are just there to provide a starting point, and are subject to what’s on hand in the pantry or what’s fresh from the garden or orchard.

There's a lot to celebrate this week. Of course HOW we celebrate is looking a little different these days, but WHY we celebrate is the same as it's always been. This week is bookended by Cinco de Mayo and Mother's Day, and Addie is sharing a bit of her family heritage (and semi-secret cabbage salsa recipe).

Rootwood Report No. 3 - Adventures with Cider - Our next Rootwood Report is coming in from Karen! She joined our bottling & taproom rotation a few years ago and we are so glad to have her on board.
________
As a relatively recent transition to a Lake Chelan “full-timer,” Karen is learning a lot about the landscape of North Central Washington through constant exploring. Whether it be a paddle board session or a hike to the top of Chelan Butte, she’s doing it with a smile… and usually a few dogs… and some friends… and maybe even some cider…
She and her husband recently made Chicken Tikka Masala on their Green Egg barbecue and paired it with Pollinator Cider.

Rootwood Report No. 2 - Pollinated Pork Shoulder - A slightly sweeter take on classic pulled pork. To make this dish buzz, we married the Pollinator cider and smoked apples from Rootwood’s last harvest with barbecue sauce.
