Unlike the past few years, this season most of our fruit trees are very full, giving us a fantastic harvest to share at God's Little Acre Farmers Market in Galion. The market is sponsored by the Presbyterian church and held on the property of First United Church of Christ, 248 Harding Way West. This is a really nice market, complete with a banjo picker for our enjoyment and usually a food truck.
Today kept me busy preparing for the market and testing out a couple of recipes. Here is what I'll have for the August 19, 2023 set up.
Red Pears
I used this recipe from Taste of Home. It is a good basic recipe, but I think adding grapes, pineapple, or cranberries would be even better. And I'll definitely use Miracle Whip for the dressing from not on. I didn't have a jar of it today and used mayo instead, which is Ok, but, in my opinion, not as tasty.
This purple plum is so yummy, I can't even begin to explain. This variety is often called "prune plum" because, when dried, they make delicious prunes (duh!) Not only are they a tasty snack, they are perfect for making Plum Kuchen. This recipe from Taste of Home is a good one, but I like to add more plums than called for.
