The Fruit Syrup
Refrigerate after opening. Made with Zoe's honey and berries. This is fantastic on pancakes or scones, or on bread pudding made with day after Thanksgiving rolls / pastries (with the frozen strawberries?). Or pour over ice cream. Or make a reduction with white wine and... (something? apples?)... to replace your cranberry sauce.
Apples and Rutabaga
Apparently, a four to one mix of sliced rutabaga and apples, lightly seasoned and oiled, makes for a very interesting tart. A mix of sweet and savory, familiar and unfamiliar.

This warty winter squash comes highly recommended for soups and pumpkin pies. 1 1/2 cups of cooked squash = one can of pumpkin puree.

Just want to say THANKS for all the blog posts. I don't comment often and there hasn't been much "chatter" on the winter share posts; however, I always read them and try out a lot of the preparations suggested.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just wanted to stick up for sun chokes. I feel they got a bad rap during the "surplus" in the spring, but I love them roasted with garlic and served with a spicy dipping sauce (think hot-wing type sauce). They also can be mashed with potatoes. Don't peel them, just scrub with a brush. They are amazing and I am glad to see them back!
Happy Thanksgiving.
This is our first time ever doing a CSA, and after getting our first box of the winter CSA a couple weeks ago we were determined to have a local CSA-only Thanksgiving--at least when it came to the produce. We had a great Thanksgiving using as much as we could from the box. In addition to the usual fixins (turkey, cranberry sauce, sausage stuffing, etc) we had:
ReplyDelete--boiled & sauteed spinach, collards, and chard in chicken stock with garlic and onions
--"rustic mash": potatoes, parsnips, rutabagas, and sunchokes (with some buttermilk, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic). has a nice smokey flavor!
--hubbard and heirloom squash pie
creative leftovers included
--turkey hash for breakfast (turkey, potatoes, onions, parsley)
--turkey hash and "thanksgiving empanadas" (filled pastry dough with leftover hash from breakfast, and turkey/stuffing/gravy/rustic mash)
--apple dumplings!
Everything was delicious and we are loving coming up with creative recipes to use all these new vegetables!
