Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2014 00:10:57 -0400
Hi BFM Fans:
Pawpaws: Yes, we have no bananas but we do have pawpaws! Our unique Tropical Forgotten Fruit and the only tropical fruit that is native to our region. You have probably never tasted them because they are not sold in stores, i.e. not commercialized yet despite the fact that they were a have of Thomas jefferson. I asked Nick and Keith and Megan about them a few months ago and Nick foraged some at Ivy Brand and Keith and Megan are bringing them on Sunday. What does it taste like? Creamy custardy Mango meets Banana --- yea! Try some.
LAST WEEK OF PRODUCE PLUS -- You must use up your Produce Plus Checks by September 30th, but we can still give out $10 checks for fruits and veg that you can use this Sunday, the last Sunday in the program for 2014. Don't miss it and spread the word. All you have to do is to show your Medicaid, Snap, WIC, CSFP IDS...

REID: Happy New Year or Shana Tova to BFM customers celebrating Rosh Hashana. A traditional wish is that your year be sweet --and many people serve slices of apples dipped in honey to ensure it. Did you ever wonder which honeys to serve with with those apples? Which ones should you choose for Honeycrisp or Cox Orange Pippin or Golden Russet, for instance. Bonnie Benwick wrote a great article matching honey with apples: http://wapo.st/1CqKuQ0 Apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, Macoun, Gold Supreme, Fuji, Yataka, Pinova, Jonathan, Haralson, Jonagold, Empire, Smokehouse), seedless grapes, Concord grapes, heirloom tomatoes, Cider (Apple, Apple Cherry, Apple Grape, Honeycrisp)

KESWICK: Besides crafting their wonderful cheese and yogurt, Melanie and her family have been raising ducks and growing baby ginger and fresh turmeric. Baby ginger has no fiber, hardly any skin to peel and is so fragrant and powerful and moist -- juice it, make ginger ale or ginger beer or ginger syrup. Grate either of them-- both-- into curried vegetables. I sautéed collards with them tonight, green beans last night. Ginger Chicken tomorrow night. And duck eggs? Well, duck eggs are my eggs of choice for omelets, quiches, scrambled eggs, soufflés -- they are so creamy, so orange, so flavorful.

Sweet pickles now, too! But I am addicted to that new hot pepper relish, spicy and many flavored. Sometimes spicy can be about nothing but the Scoville heat units, but this relish is multi-layered. Lots of heat, but also layers of fruitiness and spice as well.
