stone fruit pies, crisps, and crumbles

Category: 

I'm one of those weird people who don't much like raw stone fruit. Why did I get a fruit share? Strawberries and apples. But the middle of the season is a tedium of peaches, nectarines, and plums. What to do? Add lots of sugar and cook, naturally!

American fruit desserts include compotes (fruit simmered with sugar), crisps (fruit covered with a butter/sugar/flour/oat crumb topping and baked), cobblers (fruit covered with a buttermilk pastry dough and baked), and of course pies and their relatives, tarts and galettes.

Cool As a Cucumber

Tag: 

With the lovely cucumbers in our share this week, I'm sure none of us will have a problem using them in salads and simply snacking on them with dip. They also taste great as an alternative garnish in martinis. Here is a my own adaptation of a classic summer cocktail. Enjoy!

Notes From Green Thumb Farm

Mid-August is here and the heat has arrived. After cooler and wetter than normal June and July, we now seem to be ina a hot dry spell.

Summer squash are finally arriving in quantity - our 4th planting - cucumber and pickles - 3rd planting are also doing well. It will be a short season for both of these as September is around the corner and both these crops will begin to go down-hill with the cooler weather.
