12 flats available at 4:00, please no hot temps this week!
Hi all,
Just checked in with the stand….. 12 flats waiting to be adopted.
The weather report says hot temperatures on Wed and Thurs. We certainly don’t need that! Our berries are grown on beds of black plastic to keep out the weeds. They sunburn easily and turn to fruit leather. Keep your ears open for the weather and grab your berries on Wed if we’re gonna roast. I’ll harvest them early in the morning and keep them cool all day in our chilly refer van.
My sister-in-law whipped up this recipe yesterday. It’s really good with a cornmeal crunch and lightly sweet flavor.
Cornmeal Strawberry Cake
INGREDIENTS
* 1 1/3 cups cornmeal
* 2/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 3/4 cup unsalted butter
* 1 1/4 cups white sugar
* 4 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
* 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch round cake pan. Sift together the cornmeal, flour, salt and baking powder, set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the yogurt, stirring after each addition. Finally, fold in the strawberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick or knife inserted, comes out clean. Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes then invert onto a serving plate. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Cheers!
