From Maryrose:
Hello folks,
It's all about strawberries for me this week . I had a wake up call bright and early Thursday morning. It was well before my alarm clock was to go off. Elvina Bauman called to let me know she has many more strawberries then she thought this week! This is very exciting news as I was worried that the cold snap we had last week was going to delay the strawberries even longer. My son and I took a drive out to Herrle's on their opening day to get our hands on some strawberries from the Norfolk area last week. I could not hold out any longer.
I hope we will have strawberries on July 8th. I can't guarantee we will. Paul Bowman has an unlimited supply of pints this week. I will be stocking up to get some of my freezing and preserving done for the winter.
Here is a recipe I will be making again this year:
Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate from Bernardin Guide to Home Preserving 1996
- 6 c prepared strawberries (hulled)
- 4 c lemon juice
- 6 c granulated sugar
- In a blender or food processor, puree strawberries. In a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan, combine strawberry puree, lemon juice and sugar. Heat to 165º F, stirring occasionally. (Do not allow to boil.)
- Remove strawberry lemonade from heat; skim foam using a metal spoon.
- Ladle concentrate into a hot jar to within 1/2 inch of top rim (head space). Wipe jar rim removing any stickiness. Center snap lid on jar; apply screw band just until fingertip tight. Place jar in canner. Repeat for remaining concentrate.
- Cover canner; return water to a boil; process 15 minutes. Remove jars. Cool 24 hours. Check jar seals.
- Strawberry lemonade: mix 1 part concentrate with 1 part plain or sparkling water, tonic water or ginger ale. Adjust concentration to taste.
NOTE: we found 1 part concentrate: 3-4 parts water to be very good
Soiled Reputation, Rounds Beans and Monforte Dairy are back!
Antony from Soiled Reputation has let us know his fields are finally producing enough greens for us to have some! If you haven't yet tasted his Bistro and Gourmet mixes, you really ought to! They are yummy and a little spicy and MMmm...
This also means Rounds Brand beans and Monforte Dairy have been added back to the offering list as they are all from the Stratford area and delivered with Soiled Reputation. Remember that if you are a Monforte CSA subscriber we will happily accept your vouchers for the amount of your cheese purchase!
