HAPPY HARVEST September 14, 2012
CSA members choose 8 from the following harvest items:
acorn squash–Each week we will offer one of the beautiful winter squash varieties that we grew for you! This week its acorn squash. Cut one of these squash in half and you have two cute bowls. Scoop the seeds, fill it with raisins, a little orange juice, cinnamon, drizzle of honey. Then bake about 35 minutes, until soft. Yum.
