Peaches Roasted with Brown Sugar and Basil
From the New York Times
This sounds like an amazing thing to try !
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
Whipped crème fraîche or sour cream, for serving (optional).
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl mash together butter, sugar, basil, cinnamon and salt.
2. Spoon mixture into cavities of peach halves, and arrange peaches stuffed side up on baking pan with rim. Bake until peaches are softened and butter is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, with crème fraîche or sour cream.
Yield: 4 servings.
Market News
Hello!
It is high summer, and life on the farm is busy busy!
The summer crops are producing like crazy, and we spend a lot of time harvesting. Getting as much work done as early as possible is key on these hot and humid days. And although it is hard to believe it now, it is time to be thinking about Fall. We are seeding the cool season crops like kale, beets, and lettuces and preparing beds for the plantings of garlic. These seedlings take a lot of babying to make it through the summer temperatures.
We have lots of new customers lately, and we want to thank everyone for their patience as our business grows to accommodate more people. Please remember that orders are filled first come, first serve. If it appears we are out of an item, please leave us a message in the comments section of your order. Most of the time we can fufill your request.
This week we are trying a new system for the reusable bags and returned items. We will have labeled bins for the reusable plastic bags, paper bags, egg cartons, etc. Please take a minute to sort out the items you are returning to us. We so appreciate you bringing these items to us, and we do reuse them. However, the amount is getting overwhelming, and sorting it all is taking a lot of time. Hopefully this new system will keep things more organized! We thank you for your help with this!
The Bloomy Rind will be on vacation next week – good for them! So stock up this week to suit all your cheese needs!
We have really enjoyed having the Peach Truck with us – and they will continue to set up with us through the summer. Speaking of peaches, have you tried a peach gallette from Dozen Bakery yet? A wonderful summer dessert!
Speaking of fruit, we do have local and organically grown blackberries this week, as well as some watermelon. Please remember these are listed under the “Fruit” section of the Market. We will be working with Hidden Springs Orchard from Cookeville again this year. Their top quality, organic blueberries are always a treat! They will be available in the coming weeks.
IF YOUR PICK UP IS ON THE FARM OR AT WESTHAVEN, please leave us your peach order in the comment section of your order. We will have them for you on Thursday.
We appreciate all of you, new and veteran customers alike, who are going to brave the heat this Wednesday to come see us.
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you !
John and Tallahassee
