Recipes for October 2008 Some general tips for October’s bounty: Try baking winter squash and substituting it for recipes that call for zucchini like zucchini bread, muffins or pancakes * Fall is root season. There are so many great combinations and ways to roast them together. Choose your favorites, cube them, and roast them with olive oil, garlic and whatever else you like to spice it up. When they are about halfway done, take them out of the oven and stir them up to mix the great flavors. Parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, rutabaga, beets, and potatoes all come to mind * KALE IS GREAT! SO are collard greens — healthy and savory. And they are so versatile! Try steaming kale with lemon and garlic. Add to stir-frys, soups and stews. Collards are wonderful to “long cook” with beans and ham. We’ll have lots of both so if you can learn to use and love them, you’ll have a healthy, happy autumn! Easy Coleslaw - 5 cups shredded green or red cabbage (2 medium heads) - 2 large carrots — grated - 3/4 cup mayonnaise - 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoons honey - 1 teaspoon caraway seed - Salt to taste Toss the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.

Mix the wet ingredients including the winter squash in another bowl. Mix the 2 together stirring only as much as you have to until mixed. Ladle the lovely mixture onto the griddle and fry up some pancakes! I sometimes add some quick oats and a little less flour. Use blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries from the field or freezer!

From Farmer John’s Cookbook Spaghetti Squash Pancakes NOTE: This calls for all–purpose flour, but rice flour will also work, so the pancakes can be wheat-free. - 2 cups cooked spaghetti squash - 1 cup onion, minced - 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour or rice flour - 1/2 teaspoon salt (scant measure) - 4 large eggs - Black pepper to taste - Nonstick spray and/or butter for the pan - Sour cream or yogurt for the top - Salsa for the top, too (but not too spicy–these are delicate) DO THIS WELL AHEAD OF TIME: To bake the spaghetti squash, preheat the oven to 350F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds. Bake the halves face-down on a lightly oiled tray for about 30 minutes, or until the skin-side of the squash can be reasonably pierced with a fork. Let the baked squash cool, then scoop it out of the skin, place it in a strainer, and squeeze out some of the juices to dry it a little. Place the squash in a medium-sized bowl and separate the strands a little with a fork. Use the fork to mix in the onion, flour, and salt, and then to beat in the eggs. Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat. When the pan is hot, spray it with nonstick spray, and, if you like, melt in a little butter. Add the batter in 1/4-cup amounts to make 2 1/2-inch pancakes. Cook the pancakes cook until golden on both sides. Unlike cakier pancakes which toughen when turned from side to side, these can be turned more than once. Get them really well-done on the outside. They will still be tender and light, kind of chewy-crisp. So cook them for a good 20 minutes, minimum. Serve hot, with or without toppings.

You can blanch and freeze spinach and green beans. Peppers can be cored, sliced and frozen. Plum and cherry tomatoes dry really well in a dehydrator or oven on the lowest temperature. Tomato sauce can be frozen or canned. Flowers and herbs can be dried by hanging the upside down. And try your hand at pickling beets! Recipes for August 2008 The Simple Things – You can freeze cantaloupe, peppers, watermelon and raspberries without much effort. For the melons, remove the peel and seeds, cut into slices or make melon balls and pop into a freezer bag. With the peppers, core, slice and freeze. Raspberries — just throw them in a freezer bag or mason jar and bingo. Some foods require blanching or quick boiling before you freeze them (it breaks down enzymes which would otherwise decrease the texture, flavor and nutrition of the frozen foods). Right now, greenbeans jump to mind as a bountiful and easy food to blanch then freeze. Cook in boiling water for 2 minutes, drain, let cool, put in a freezer bag and pop it in the freezer. Later this fall, broccoli, kohlrabi, collared greens, cauliflower and kale will all freeze well after blanching. Tomato Sauce (To Can Or Freeze) - 5 Pounds of Plum Tomatoes (20 – 25 Tomatoes) - 2 Tablespoons parsley - 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil - 2 teaspoons basil or oregano - 2 Onions, chopped - 1 bay leaf - 4 garlic cloves, crushed - salt and pepper to taste - 5 tablespoons chopped Green Pepper - water or red wine - 1/4 cup lemon juice Loosen tomato skins by plunging them into boiling water.

Add herbs and spices and simmer for 1 hour or longer stirring occasionally. Add water or red wine if necessary. Add lemon juice at the end. If freezing, pour into glass jars leaving an inch of space below the lid. Allow to cool. Label and freeze. If canning, process for 45 minutes. I leave the skins on then pour the sauce through a sieve or foley food mill at the end to remove the skins (or I just leave them in there — won’t kill you). For thicker sauce, just keep cooking it down — don’t allow it to burn! Stir often. From Stocking Up.

Prep only takes a few minutes then you just let it simmer for 40 minutes while you play with your 14 month-old child or dog or cat — up to you. I also cook by instinct which can be hard to put into words. Here goes: Put 2 cups of water into a medium pot on medium-high. Stir in 2 spoonfuls of broth paste until they dissolve (veg or chicken — the kind you keep in the fridge). Stir in a pat of butter. Wash and chop 1 large carrot and add to broth. Wash about 8 leaves of your choice of kale and collards. Rip the leaves off the stalk and add pieces to the broth. Chop 1 clove of garlic (or leek or onion) into the broth. Cover and reduce to low heat. Let simmer for 30 or 40 minutes. You can vary this by adding lentils, bowtie pasta, shrimp or tofu etc. You may need to add more water if you are adding beans or rice. SAVORY DISH!!! Make some rolls or garlic bread for sopping up the broth. Yum.

From The mind of Farmer Jeff Recipes and Storage Tips for September 2007 Drying Cherry Tomatoes Cut them in half and place the cut side up. IF using a food dryer / dehydrator, dry at 125 degrees for 3 days. Or place them cut side up on a baking sheet and dry in the oven at the lowest temperature with the door slightly ajar (if possible) until dry but still a little pliable. You can dust with salt or herbs before drying. When finished, they can be stored in a jar in the cupboard or in the freezer in a jar or freezer bag. (If storing in the cupboard, watch for condensation forming in the jar — this is a sign that they aren’t dry enough). Enjoy them in salads, soups, stews, stir-frys, and especially right into your mouth. DELICIOUS! Drying Herbs You can try this or similar techniques with parsley, oregano, dill, sage, anise hyssop, basil, thyme, mint and many other herbs we have at Fernbrook. This is a great time to harvest and dry herbs! Harvest stems with good leaves Morning is the best time. Remove any yellowing leaves. Punch holes in a paper bag and place the plants in the bag with the cut stems at the opening of the bag. Tie the bag with string or a rubber bag, label it and hang it in a warm, airy room. Check it in 2 or 3 weeks. When herbs are dry, place leaves in a zip-loc bag or glass jar and label. Discard any leaves that look like they did not fully dry. If you leave them whole and crush before using they will retain more flavor. You can also try hanging bundles in a dark, airy place without the paper bag. Give it a try! Freezing Winter Squash For any winter squash, slice it in half, scoop out the seeds, place the cut side down on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until soft. When cool, scoop out flesh, put in a mason jar and put it in the freezer. You can later use it in bread, muffins, casseroles, pies, or my favorite — pancakes! Of course, winter squash will also keep for a few months as is in a cool (fifty degrees), dry place. A garage or basement can work great. Just don’t let them get too cold Freezing Peppers OK, last time I’ll mention it. But this is the perfect one for beginners. Take a pepper, core it, cut it into quarters, throw them in a freezer bag and throw the bag in the freezer. There you have it. Use them later in omelets, stir-frys, chili, soups, stews and more.
