PEACHES 'N' CREAM ECLAIRS WITH BOURBON CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Make choux pastry:
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in upper third. Butter a large baking sheet.
• Bring butter, water, and salt to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over high heat, stirring until butter is melted. Reduce heat to medium. Add flour all at once and cook, beating with a wooden spoon, until mixture pulls away from side of pan and forms a ball, about 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well with an electric mixer at high speed after each addition.
• Transfer mixture to pastry bag and pipe 8 (5-inch-long) strips (about 1 inch wide) onto baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
• Bake éclairs 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 400°F and continue to bake until golden, puffed, and crisp, about 15 minutes more (leave oven on). Immediately pierce side of each éclair with tip of a paring knife and return to oven to dry, propping door slightly ajar, 5 minutes. Halve an éclair horizontally: If still moist inside, return éclairs to oven and dry 5 minutes more. Cool éclairs completely on a rack, about 25 minutes.
• Make caramel sauce while éclairs cool:
• Heat sugar in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring with a fork to heat sugar evenly, until it starts to melt, then stop stirring and cook, swirling skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is a dark amber. Remove from heat and immediately spoon about 1 teaspoon of caramel along top of each éclair, spreading it with back of spoon. Add water and salt to remaining caramel in skillet and simmer, stirring occasionally, until all of caramel is dissolved. Add butter and bourbon, swirling skillet to incorporate. Remove from heat and keep sauce warm, covered.
• Make filling:
• Cut peaches into thin wedges and toss with 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat cream with bourbon and remaining tablespoon sugar using cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks.
• Assemble éclairs:
• Halve éclairs horizontally. Put bottom halves of éclairs on plates and top with whipped cream and peaches, then cover with top halves of éclairs. Drizzle plates with caramel sauce.

GRILLED BANANAS WITH ICE CREAM AND BOURBON-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, cream, butter, and honey in heavy large saucepan. Scrape in vanilla seeds; add beans. Stir mixture over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently until sauce coats spoon thickly and is reduced to 3 2/3 cups, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Mix in bourbon. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Cut unpeeled bananas in half lengthwise. Arrange, cut side up, on baking sheet. Brush cut sides with caramel sauce. Place bananas, still cut side up, on grill rack. Close barbecue; grill until peels are slightly charred and fruit is tender and beginning to come away from peel, about 4 minutes. Place 1 banana half, cut side up, on each plate. Top each with ice cream, warm caramel sauce, and pecans.

ROASTED MUSHROOMS BAKED WITH A BOURBON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Mushrooms -- I toss the whole cremini mushrooms after cleaned and the end of the stem removed with olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Then bake on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil for 20 -30 minutes at 400F until soft and lightly golden brown. You don't want them over cooked and falling apart.
• Transfer the mushrooms to a casserole dish sprayed with Pam or lightly greased.
• Sauce -- In a medium size sauce pan add the oil and heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion begin to brown, keep on medium low heat, you don't want them to burn or get crispy, just lightly saute.
• Sauce II -- after the onions are done, add in the flour to slightly thicken. Then add the wine and bourbon and let reduce and scrape up any drippings then add the chicken broth and bring to a medium heat to make a sauce. Let it cook 2 minutes to heat up and slightly reduce then add the heavy cream and season to taste. Cook 3-4 minutes to slightly reduce and thicken.
• Pour over the mushrooms in the casserole dish.
• Topping -- In a measuring or mixing cup melt the butter in the microwave, just 10 seconds and add the bread crumbs and mix well. Top the mushrooms.
• Bake 20 minutes on 400F until bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
• This is a lighter sauce which is great when served over sliced pork or chicken. The sauce is absolutely wonderful over butter noodles, rice, couscous, and just about anything.
