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!

The heat is on! And we’ve got a great week for you, filled with the beauties of late Tennessee Spring – strawberries and lovely flower bouquets! If you haven’t yet checked out our Facebook page, there are some pictures there of the strawberry harvest at John Drury’s farm. Please remember all our strawberries are not only locally grown by John in Thompson Station, but are also grown organically, without any of the horrible chemicals usually sprayed on conventional strawberries. They are juicy and delicious, and won’t be around much longer!

If you are interested in picking your own berries, this weekend John will be opening up his farm to pick your own. The days are Friday or Saturday from 7-noon. The price is $4.50 quart. Check with John first via email or at 838-0428 for availability. 3514 Gray Lane, Thompsons Sta. 37179

There is a nice variety of flowers this week. This end of the school year is a great time to show some appreciation to those who have been teaching our children all school year, and a bouquet of flowers or some Earthwind Botanicals products is a great way to show some appreciation.

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
