thanksgiving on the farmThis year we partnered with Tennessee’s Blackberry Farm to create a Thanksgiving menu inspired by
new recipes and old rituals. Proprietor Sam Beall made his family’s customary two turkeys (one roasted, one fried), the farm’s artisans brought inventive dishes, and we contributed a few of our classics. The
result is an extraordinary meal that celebrates seasonal bounty and offers a new take on tradition. Find more on Blackberry Farm, and our complete Thanksgiving resource guide, at williams-sonoma.com.

Recipe by Sam Beall, Proprietor
/ Rice flour is used to thicken this gravy, producing a delicious gluten-free alternative to a flour-based roux. Without pan drippings, the gravy resembles a cream gravy. To enhance flavor and color, add homemade chicken stock or a combination of stock and drippings.

Whisk in the cornmeal. cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. slowly whisk in the stock, coffee and hot sauce. bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. reduce the heat and cook until slightly thickened, 12 to 15 minutes. season with salt and pepper. add the thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. off the heat, let stand for 5 minutes. discard the herbs and serve.

Recipe by Shannon Walker, Preservationist & Beekeeper
/ Sawmill gravy is a Southern favorite that incorporates cornmeal, creating a grainy texture that resembles sawdust. The addition of strong coffee and piquant hot sauce is traditional. This gravy is great paired with most turkeys, especially ones prepared with sweeter brines.

Place the roasting pan with the pan drippings on the stovetop over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Pour in the madeira and deglaze the pan, stirring with a whisk to scrape up the browned bits, until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 1 minute. carefully strain the contents of the pan into a gravy separator and set aside.
in a large sauté pan over medium heat, warm the oil. add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. slowly whisk in the stock and add the bay leaves and sage sprigs. increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes.
Pour in the strained pan drippings, leaving the fat behind, and season the gravy with salt and pepper. remove and discard the bay leaves, sage sprigs and shallots. keep the gravy warm until ready to serve.
/ The perfect accompaniment to roast turkey, this gravy is enriched by the flavors of Madeira and caramelized onions along with a hint of fresh sage. A gravy separator makes fast work of separating the poultry juices from the fat.

to make the sweet hot mustard, in a bowl, whisk both mustards, vinegar, brown sugar and hot sauce. reserve 2 tbs. mustard for the salad; refrigerate the rest for up to 4 weeks.
to make the salad, in a large bowl, whisk the smoked onion jam, vinegar, the 2 tbs. sweet hot mustard, 3 tbs. of the olive oil, salt and pepper.
in a large nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tbs. olive oil. add the brussels sprouts, salt and pepper. cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are just tender and lightly browned, about 11 minutes. transfer to the bowl with the vinaigrette, add the walnuts and apples and toss. season with salt and pepper.
For the sweet hot mustard:1/4 cup (60 g) Dijon mustard2 Tbs. whole-grain mustard1 1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar2 Tbs. firmly packed light brown sugar1/8 tsp. hot sauce
For the salad:2 Tbs. Blackberry Farm Smoked Onion Jam* or caramelized shallots
1 Tbs. sherry vinegar5 Tbs. (80 ml) extra-virgin olive oilKosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste1 lb. (500 g) brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered1 cup (125 g) black walnuts, toasted1 1/2 red apples, such as Fuji or Gala, cored and thinly sliced
/ Blackberry Farm chefs say this recipe convinces anyone to love brussels sprouts. Black walnuts have a more bitter, earthy flavor than traditional walnuts, although either will work well. Here, the sprouts are pan-roasted on the stovetop. If you prefer to cook them in the oven, toss them with 2 Tbs. olive oil, place on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast at 450ºF (230ºC) for about 15 minutes.

/ Similar in texture and tang to pecorino romano, Singing Brook, named after a brook that runs through the property, is a hard sheep’s-milk cheese made at the farm.

Recipe by Joseph Lenn, Executive Chef of the Barn
/ This is a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving: You can blanch the collard greens a day in advance and refrigerate, then finish the dish a few minutes before serving. If you prefer your greens more brothy, increase the chicken stock to 3 cups (750 ml).
/ Ryan Burger, the cheese maker at Blackberry Farm, developed this recipe to highlight Brebis, a creamy sheep’s-milk cheese he makes on the farm. In its place, you can use goat’s-milk cheese or fromage blanc. Unlike a traditional gratin, this one uses no cream; the cheese provides plenty of richness.
“ People in the South will often put lots of vinegar on their greens, masking the TRUE FLAvOR. In this dish, our onion jam adds just enough SWEETnESS and acidity to balance the flavor.”
– Joseph Lenn, Executive chef of the barn
“ I like to make this with POTATOES from the farm and locally foraged MUSHROOMS. I would much rather eat this than mashed potatoes!”

/ Invented by a 19th-century baker at Boston’s famous Parker House Hotel, these fluffy rolls are American classics, and they’re easy to bake at home using our premium mix.
have all the ingredients (except the warm water) at room temperature.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, combine 1 cup (160 g) of the mix, the yeast and 4 tbs. (1/2 stick/60 g) of the butter. set the mixer on low speed and slowly add the warm water and egg, beating until combined. increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, stopping the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. add the remaining mix, reduce the speed to low and beat until just combined, about 1 minute.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, working in more flour as needed. shape the dough into a ball and place in a large oiled bowl, turning the dough over to coat all sides. cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Punch the dough down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 2 equal pieces and knead each briefly until smooth. Place the dough balls on a lightly floured surface and cover each with an overturned bowl. Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 375°f (190°c).
in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 4 tbs. (1/2 stick/60 g) butter. generously brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch (23-cm) square baking pan with some of the butter. roll out each piece of dough into a 12-by-4-inch (30-by-10-cm) rectangle, with a long side facing you. generously brush each rectangle with butter and fold the top down, leaving 1/2 inch (12 mm) uncovered. cut each rectangle into 6 pieces. arrange the rolls in the prepared pan so there are 3 rows of 4. Let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the sea salt.
bake until the rolls are golden on top, 18 to 22 minutes. transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes; as the rolls cool, insert fresh thyme sprigs into the folds. remove the rolls from the pan and serve warm. makes 12 rolls.

Preheat an oven to 350°f (180°c). to make the crust, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the flour, pecans, brown sugar and butter on low speed until combined, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Wrap a double layer of foil around the bottom and sides of the springform pan. Add the filling and smooth the top. Place in the center of a roasting pan. Pour in hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan. bake until the cheesecake is firm but jiggles slightly in the center, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool in the water bath before topping with the meringue.
