Dear Fruit Share Members,
I am sorry about the raspberries last week. With all the weather they are not holding this year. We had to go through 2 orders to get your order last week and this week they were short on the order. So last week we packed a full order of peaches and this week a full order of nectarines. So just consider the raspberries a bonus. But, please eat them fast.
Recipes: For Basil which is abundant right now.
- Pumpkin Basil Soup: One of my favorites this time of year. You may use any of the winter squash for this recipe. Pictured above is delicata squash. http://bawandinesh.name/basil-pumpkin-soup/
- Basil Eggplant: We had this for dinner last night and it was awesome. http://www.thaitable.com/Thai/recipes/Basil_Eggplant.htm
- Mushroom Basil Pasta: This will be dinner tonight. I get my mushrooms from the Exotic Mushroom man at the West Reading Farmer's market. Tonight I will be using the oysters (the best), shittakes and the criminis. A lush dinner for a simple farm girl. http://www.edenfoods.com/recipes/view.php?recipes_id=655
