Recipes


Rhubarb Strawberry Pudding Cake

One of my favorite things to do with strawberries! From chef Nancy Vienneau’s blog Good Food Matters
adapted from Gourmet, April 2007

¼ cup water
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 and ½ cups sugar
3 cups chopped fruit—I prefer 2 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup strawberries, -
any variation you choose
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
½ cup milk
1 stick butter—melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and put oven rack in the middle position. Butter an 8”x8” ceramic or glass baking pan. Stir together the water, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan and heat. Stir in the rhubarb, if you are using it—but not the strawberries. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about three minutes. Remove from heat and add the strawberries.

Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, milk, butter, vanilla.

Now add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir in until well combined. Do not overbeat.

Coat the bottom of the baking pan with ½ of the fruit mixture. Spread the batter over that, then dollop the remaining fruit mixture on the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s done!

Allow to cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving. This can be served warm or served later at room temperature. Wrap and refrigerate leftovers, if there are any.

Makes 8-10 servings.

Hello!

It has been a beautiful day and looks to be a warmer and dryer week ahead. A great chance to finally get caught up! The spring produce is really rolling in now, and we have a nice selection for you this week! We should have enough strawberries for all, as well as lots of other wonderful greens and other yummy eats. It is amazing the diversity of crops that begin to appear in this change of seasons, after a winter of pretty much the same thing over and over!

We still have some nice herb transplants for your garden as well as some Jalapeno pepper plants. It’s definitely not too late!

Please remember to return any 4"plastic pots, berry containers, as well as Fresh Harvest bags.

Mark your calendars for Memorial Day Weekend – It’s the Hickman County Arts&Ag Tour! Tally’s farm, Turnbull Creek Farm, and Twin Forks Farm Artisan Breads are two of the many stops on this great driving tour of Hickman County, just southwest of Nashville. If you feel like spending a day in the country, come on out and see all the neat stuff going on in scenic Hickman County! The tour stops are open May 24th and 25th, and you can find out more info at artsandagtour.wordpress.com.

Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
