Shirlee Read... The Kitchen Door
It's all about peaches at the pie booth this week--peaches in combination with other fruits orjust by themselves in luscious pies almost (but not really) too gorgeous to eat. Try Peach/Blackberry or Peach/Raspberry, bursting with flavor and plate-licking good! Also available this week--Down Home Chicken, a made-from-scratch savory dinner pie, frozen for you to bake and eat hot out of the oven...or...Tomato/Basil Three Cheese Tart, a summer favorite for lunch, baked and ready to eat. All pies made from scratch by pie artist, Shirlee Read.
Tiny's Organic... oneycrisp Apples At Markets!
 
A young girl munches on a Honeycrisp apple!
 
Our Honeycrisp apple harvest is in full swing and we'll have them at all markets this weekend
 
This apple was developed at the University of Minnesota and is likely the most popular apple of all time!  It truly is what its name implies--a hint of honey and a very crisp, snappy texture.  It's been on the market now for at about 10 years or so and although it's a great tasting apple and just flies off the shelves, it's an extremely difficult apple to grow.  It develops a condition called 'bitterpit' which are black spots that lie just beneath the surface of the apple but are highly visible.  It's okay to eat a bite containing bitterpit but it makes the apple very unsightly
