Recipes
Rhubarb-Strawberry Pudding Cake
(adapted from Gourmet, April 2007)
From Nancyvienneau.com Good Food Matters
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, – or all 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 8×8 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.
Market News
Hello!
We’ve got a great selection of spring greens for you this week and also STRAWBERRIES! Our organically grown strawberries are here for sure, and now is the time to enjoy them to the fullest! Dozen Bakery has their delicious Brown Sugar Shortcakes listed so make sure you get some to have for dessert (make for a yummy breakfast, too!)
We also have plants this week! A selection of tomato and basil varieties is available. All of these plants are grown organically, starting with non GMO seed and organic potting mix. They are sure to be a great addition to your garden!
Just a reminder that you can find the strawberries under the “Fruits” section of the Market page, and the tomato and basil starts under the “Herb, Vegetable, and Flower Plants” page.
We will be returning to our regular weekly schedule from here on through the season. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces every week!
The Bachelor Buttons are in! Bunches are available. Also, consider buying the mother in your life a Pre-Paid Bouquet Subscription. That way, she can order bouquets throughout the growing season whenever it is convenient for her! She will get 10 large bouquets and you will get to treat her at a reduced price! Check it out on the market page. Also, a gift certificate will be provided for you at pick up so you can present it to her in a card!
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!
John and Tallahassee
