2022 CSA Week 24 Recipes

Despite a few frosty evenings this week, which toasted the last of our field summer crops, we’re feeling pretty good about the amount of produce we still have growing. We have the most we’ve ever had this time of year, which means we should have a good supply of leafy greens, green onions, leeks, cabbage, radishes, beets, carrots, etc. at the winter markets we attend from December- March. We also have tomatoes and peppers in our high tunnels, which should continue to produce for us until the end of the year, depending on the weather. We highly recommend trying the ground cherry jam recipe below- it pairs really well with a cracker, cheese and charcuterie board. Have a great week!

Melt 4 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and 1 tsp salt. After 1 minute add chopped garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
