Here's the basic formula for any winter squash (though getting the larger ones in half is a job for a cleaver). Preheat your oven: 375-400 degrees F. Place, cut side down, in a roasting pan or baking sheet and add an inch of water. Cover with a lid or foil and bake 30-60 minutes. The squash is finished when it yields to gentle pressure with the tines of a fork or a paring knife. From here you can make a simple soup (always roast squash first to allow the sugars to caramelize) or, if you're up for a challenge, try one of these recipes at the bottom of this week's e-mail: Baked Acorn Squash with Cranberry Orange Compote or Winter Squash and Kale Risotto. |

Tour to Paradise Hill Farm: Heirloom Cranberry Bogs and Paradise Hill Farm is committed to the environmental and historic conservation of New Jersey's Pine Barrens. Specializing in cranberries and blueberries, they are dedicated to preserving heirloom varieties. The blueberries that we got from them this year were just spectacular (we also now have them available frozen), and now we're offering the white and red cranberries, fresh, at the Farmstand. The farm has been in Mary Ann Thompson's family since 1890. Mary Ann's Grandmother won the Silver medal for quality at the Buffalo exposition in the early 1900s, and she is continuing that tradition today. The farm spans over 800 acres in the Pine Barrens, with 200 acres in cranberry production. Tickets are $25 adults, $12 children (6-13) free for children under 6. Price includes tour and deliciously fresh and local picnic on the farm. Farmers Market Nutrition Program (Senior an WIC) participants receive a 50% discount. Discounts may be available for groups of 5 or more people. Click this link to go to our website to reserve your tickets now!
