I should make these for my bourbon-loving business partner during the holidays...and then again in May, during Derby Weekend!

Spirited Cooking: Bourbon Balls

September is National Bourbon Heritage Month

Hot-Spiced Bourbon Balls

INGREDIENTS:

.25 cup Bourbon 2 tbsp Sorghum syrup, cane syrup, molasses or honey 1.25 cups Powdered sugar, divided 2 tbsp Cocoa powder .5 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional) .25 tsp Ground mace .25 tsp Ground cinnamon .5 tsp Salt 10 oz Vanilla wafers (about 60) 1 cup Coarsely chopped pecans

PREPARATION: In a small bowl, whisk together the bourbon and sorghum syrup until well combined. In a large bowl, sift together 1 cup of the powdered sugar with the cocoa powder, cayenne, mace, cinnamon and salt. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir in the bourbon mixture until a smooth, glossy paste forms.   In a food processor, pulse the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs, about 10 (5-second) pulses. Add the wafer crumbs and pecans to the bourbon mixture and stir until consistently doughy and workable, about 2 minutes.   Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, roll each ball in the remaining .25 cup powdered sugar, and place on a sheet of waxed paper. Store in the refrigerator in a container with a tight-fitting lid, with a sheet of waxed paper between layers, for up to 4 days. Read more at liquor.com

Jill Scott's "Hear My Call"

Once again, Jill Scott rips the band-aid off a few battle wounds...perhaps she will minister to you too.

Her new song, Hear My Call, reminds me of some late night prayers in a few of the valleys I have wandered. It also reminds me of how very blessed I am today, "on the other side of through"...

Here's the link to her video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtapoGukzCA&feature=player_embedded

You might need some time to yourself after you watch it. I did.
