Tomato Vegetable Juice- Why isn’t this juice
thick and red? It’s because the juices have been extracted with heat, rather than
pressure. We steam juice a variety of
fruits and vegetables, when we desire a clear product, without a lot of
pulp. There's a small bit of residual hovering at the bottom, which can be mixed in and consumed. The result is a good match for
drinking straight, as well as a base for soup, cooking rice etc….
ingred: tomatoes, carrots*, peppers*, onions*,
salt.
Savory Shallots- Introducing…. A
Favorite! These shallots were the
first pickle of 2011. As you may know,
shallots are known for their incredible storability. They remain dense and firm long after the
stored onions. So by pickling the past
season’s harvest, we make space on our plate for the new season’s shallots.
ingred: shallots*, apple cider vinegar*,
garlic*, dill*, bay leaves*, sea salt.
Concord Grape Juice-This juice is lightly
touched with raw honey. We enjoy it
straight, though you could cut it with seltzer, add it to a smoothie or create
a new cocktail. Be warned of, 'blue tongue,' if you drink it all straight!
ingred: concord grapes, honey*.
Fresh Yogurt- Stir before
serving. Yogurt can be frozen if not
eaten within 3 weeks. I considered flavoring this batch, and opted to keep it Real. That way you can bake with it, etc... I often enjoy it
with blueberry spread and a touch of syrup stirred in. This batch is thinner than some. The milk hails from Windy Ridge dairy in West Potsdam.
ingred: jersey milk*, active cultures.
Peach butter- The richness of this comes
from reducing the peaches through prolonged cooking. There is a slight touch of sweetener, but oh
so little!
ingred: peaches, raw cane sugar*.
Chunky Apple Chutney- This recipe
intertwines sweet and savory, playing the raisins and sweetener against the
ginger and garam masala. Garam masala is
a fragrant Indian spice mixture that livens up many a dish. The ingredients are
included below.
ingred: apples, apple cider vinegar, raisins*,
ginger*, raw cane sugar*, shallots*, lemon*, garam masala (cumin, coriander,
cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, nutmeg)*, vegetable oil.
