Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Winter Fruit Compote Recipe From Chef Steffani Adaska

Posted on January 30, 2013 by Bernerhof Inn| Leave a comment

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Winter Fruit Compote

For the Cheesecake
1 T. unsalted butter, melted
3 T. graham cracker crumbs
2 lbs. Philadelphia cream cheese,
room temperature
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp. lemon zest
3 tsp. vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean pod, scraped
1/4 cup heavy
1/4 cup sour cream
1. Pre-heat the oven to 500°.
2. Brush sides and bottom of a 9’’ springform pan with butter. Sprinkle
graham cracker crumbs over bottom of pan and shake to coat evenly
with crumbs.
3. Beat the cream cheese in a standing mixer until very smooth. Gradually
add the sugar and beat on medium speed until sugar dissolves (3-
4 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until incorporated
and scraping down the sides of the mixer bowl after each addition.
Add lemon zest, vanilla extract and vanilla specks and beat just until
incorporated.
4. Remove bowl from mixer and stir in cream and sour cream with a
wooden spoon.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cheesecake at 500°
for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200°. Bake until the
cheesecake’s perimeter is set, but center jiggles when pan is tapped,
about an hour.
6. Turn off the heat and use a long-handled fork or spoon the hold the
oven door open by about one foot.
7. Let the cheesecake rest for an hour, then place it on a wire rack and
let it cool to room temperature. Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate
it until chilled, at least 4 hours.
Chef’s notes:
I recommend baking the cheesecake in a water bath (Bain Marie).

For the Compote
1 cup dry white wine
¼ cup sweet Marsala wine
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
½ cinnamon stick
½ cup dried apricots, quartered
½ cup golden raisins
½ cup dried cherries
Dash gray sea salt
1 cup Granny Smith apples,
diced ¼-inch thick cubes
1 cup pears, ¼-inch slices
1 T. lemon zest
1 T. fresh lemon juice
1. In a 4-quart saucepan or pot bring the first 6 ingredients to a simmer.
Stir slowly to dissolve the sugar in the liquid.
2. Add the remaining ingredients except the lemon juice.
3. Bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, simmer for about 20.
4. Turn off the heat then stir in the lemon juice. With a slotted spoon
remove the fruit to a bowl.
5. Bring the remaining syrup to a simmer and reduce until lightly thickened
or when the bubbles formed on the top become small.
6. Remove the syrup for the heat and cool. Once cool mix with the fruit
and serve over cheesecake slices.
7. The compote can be made ahead and kept n the refrigerator for up
to 3 days.

BERNERHOF INN BED & BREAKFAST NAMED A 2012 “BEST OF NEW ENGLAND – EDITOR’S CHOICE” WINNER BY YANKEE MAGAZINE & BEST PLACE TO GET CONNECTED BY NEW HAMPSHIRE MAGAZINE

TripAdvisor® also awards Bernerhof Certificate of Excellence

(Glen, NH – May, 2012)- The Bernerhof Inn B&B in Glen, NH has recently racked up a series of three awards. Bernerhof Inn Bed & Breakfast has been recognized as a 2012 “Editors’ Choice” winner in Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England. This designation is awarded by Yankee’s editors and contributors, who name select restaurants, lodgings, and attractions in New England to the exclusive list. “Recently remodeled from head to toe, this Victorian lady has been given a jolt of modernity with luxurious high-thread-count linens, flat screen TVs and eco-friendly fireplaces in every room,” reads the excerpt from the magazine, which applauded the Bernerhof for the best renovation.

Additionally, New Hampshire Magazine also named the Bernerhof Inn the best place to “get connected” in New Hampshire, saying “We know – you want to get away but you don’t really want to totally disconnect. The newly renovated Bernerhof Inn has all the B&B perks like whirlpool tubs, fireplaces and plush bedding, but it also has complimentary iPads to use during your stay, iPod docking stations in each room and free wifi access. Forget your computer? That’s covered, too. There’s also a European-style pub, where afternoon tea is offered, along with a wide selection of favorite and locally crafted beers and wines. Also, there are complimentary evening appetizers made with locally grown ingredients.”

In May, 2012 TripAdvisor awarded the Bernerhof with the 2012 Certificate of Excellence award. According to TripAdvisor, “Our travelers consistently commend your property with the highest praise, and we recognise your 4.5 rating as an exceptional achievement. Only the very best in the business are awarded a Certificate of Excellence”.

“We could not be more proud of these designations and honors from the folks at Yankee Magazine, New Hampshire Magazine, and TripAdvisor” says Dick Badger, owner of the Bernerhof Inn. “It has been a labor of love to see that majestic inn come back to life and we are excited to see both travelers and the media taking notice.” In addition to the modern amenities at the Bernerhof, guests especially like having an iPAD for their exclusive use during their stay, and iMAC computers on each floor of the Inn.

But the improvements only continue to go on as Dick indicates “We are in the process of adding a massage room for our guests, we are putting walking trails along the woodland behind the Bernerhof, as well as making plans to bring back the cooking school that the Bernerhof was once famous for!”

Nestled in the heart of New Hampshire’s White Mountains sits a grand old building, with soft light emanating from the windows, inviting you inside. Pay a visit to this quaint mountain hideaway that captures every ounce of charm expected from a New England town with its very own red covered bridge. The Bernerhof is your every-season mountain retreat. For more information and online booking, visit www.bernerhofinn.com.

Quick Travel Tips for that Summer Romantic Getaway

Posted on March 15, 2012 by Bernerhof Inn| Leave a comment

With gas prices, this summer, hovering around the $4/gallon mark, many people may be reconsidering taking that summer road trip. However, the Tire Industry Association (TIA), one of the leading global authorities on tires, offers six tips drivers can use to stay safe, reduce fuel consumption and thus make that NH romantic getaway a reality.

1. Perform a visual inspection and check tire pressure. According to TIA Senior Vice President of Training Kevin Rohlwing, improperly inflated tires are one of the biggest contributors to a car’s fuel inefficiency. Drivers should check the owner’s manual or the placard on the inside of the driver-side door to determine the correct inflation, and always check the pressure first thing in the morning, when tires are “cold.” Additionally, look for any cracking and/or irregular wear.

2. Be sure not to overload your tires. Many summertime activities involve a lot of luggage and equipment. And, when you factor in the weight of the passengers, it can be too much for your tires to safely handle. Overloaded tires will also wear out faster, and will not be as fuel-efficient, thus potentially costing you hundreds of dollars on replacement tires. Make sure to check the owner’s manual to ensure the maximum allowable limit is not being exceeded.

3. Use the “penny test” to check for minimum tread depth. The old test still works – place a penny in a major tread groove of a tire with Lincoln’s head facing down. If the top of Lincoln’s head is visible at any point in any major tread groove, it’s a good sign that the tire needs to be replaced.

4. Rotate tires every 5,000 – 7,000 miles. Rotating tires on this regular basis is one of the best ways to get the maximum life out of your tires.

5. If your tire is punctured, make sure the person who is repairing it performs the repairs off the wheel. The only proper way to repair tire damage is to remove the tire from the wheel. On-the-wheel repairs are dangerous, because there may be more damage to the tire than what is visible when it is on the wheel.

6. Inspect your spare tire. Many people forget to regularly check the condition of their spare tire (including the inflation pressure) until one of their main tires is not working, and then, it’s too late. This is a quick and easy maintenance tip that will pay dividends when you need it most.
