BOURBON BALSAMIC SYRUP
Consider this a recipe for a classic steak sauce, updated; that's bourbon syrup, made with real ingredients in a flash. Sure, you could buy a sauce at the grocery store, but making it yourself is quicker and tastier. Serve it alongside a grilled rib-eye.

Steps:
- Put the balsamic vinegar and bourbon in a small nonreactive pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower the heat so the mixture bubbles gently.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup, 15 to 20 minutes; it should coat the back of a spoon and will thicken a little more as it cools. Salt to taste, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the cake: Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, cake flour, minced rosemary, baking powder, and salt.
- Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, on low speed beat the butter and vanilla together until combined. Slowly add the powdered sugar.

On low speed add the dry ingredients just until incorporated.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Steps:
- 1. Grease 4 (1-cup) size ramekins with nonstick spray to evenly coat the insides.
- 2. Begin by adding milk, cream and sugar to a pot and set over medium heat. Add vanilla bean and seeds and 4 strips of lemon peel (try not to get any of the white pith). Bring to a simmer. Once the mixture begins to bubble, turn off the heat.
- 3. While the mixture is heating, combine the gelatin and lemon juice, whisking as you go to avoid lumps. Temper the gelatin with about 1/2 cup of the heated milk/cream mixture and whisk back into the remaining mixture. Strain cream mixture using a fine mesh strainer, into a bowl and discard the vanilla pod and lemon peel. Add the creme fraiche and gently whisk to combine the mixture. Distribute evenly among the ramekins and place in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours or until they are set.
- 4. In a small saucepan reduce balsamic vinegar over low heat until slightly syrupy 5 to 7 minutes. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
- 5. Remove the ramekins from the refrigerator and top with quartered strawberries. Drizzle the tops with the balsamic syrup and serve.
BALSAMIC, ORANGE, HONEY, MAPLE SYRUP GLAZED DUCK
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375f. Mix all the ingredients (except the duck!) together in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. Reserve 1/4 of the glaze. Sit the duck on a rack over a baking dish, baste and place in oven. Baste the duck every 10 minutes throughout the cooking process with remaining 3/4 of glaze. A 4.5 lb duck should take about 1 hour 15 minutes to cook, but give one of his legs a pull, and if it moves freely and any juices run clear, your duck will be cooked. Place on a serving platter brush with reserved glaze and serve. Pass any remaining reserved glaze to be spooned over carved duck.

FILET MIGNON W/BALSAMIC SYRUP & BOURSIN CHEESE
One of my favorite foods. I've had this at my good friend's house with baked potatoes, asparagus and fresh baked bread. A meal to die for! Delicious! Update -09/15/2009: Since some reviewers have had trouble with the balsamic syrup - I suggest that you don't make the syrup and make a slight glaze with the balsamic vinegar and serve it with the filet mignon and the Boursin cheese & since I can't change the title of the recipe I suggest you do that.
