Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs.

Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti are my top picks for Dessert. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry

Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees f. and adjust oven rack to the middle position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In the work bowl of a food processor, add flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse a couple of times to combine. Scatter the chilled butter and shortening over the top of the flour. Pulse a few times, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. In a large bowl add the mashed acorn squash and cider vinegar, mix well. Stir in the Gruyere and sage. Add the flour/butter mixture, stir to combine. Turn the biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead a few times to bring the dough together. Pat the dough into a round that is about 1-inch thick. Cut out the biscuits using a 2 1/4-inch biscuit cutter, dipping the cutter in flour to prevent sticking. Gather the scraps continue to cut the biscuits. Place the biscuits, evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. If garnishing with the sage leaves. Dip your finger in the beaten egg and dot a small amount on the center of each biscuit, place a sage leaf, pressing lightly to affix to the top. Brush the biscuits with melted butter. Bake the biscuits until golden brown, 18-22 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
