Week 22 Final Delivery for 2011

Week 22 2011- The Final Delivery of the 2011 Season!

Hey CSAers,

We would like to thank each of you for a wonderful and bountiful season. We hope that enjoyed preparing and eating the veggies as much as we did. For the most part, we were very happy with this year’s growing season.

We had a couple of nights of frost; which has left the garden looking quite different. The Fall is here and Jack Frost is knocking on our doors. We hope that you have a fabulous winter and survive eating store bought flavorless veggies. Remember, Spring will come again!

If you are interested in joining Clear Creek CSA for the 2012 season, I will send out CSA sign up reminders in January. However, if you already know that you are going to sign up and would like to pick up on a certain day of the week let me know.

This week in your box (bag) you will find:

Turnip Greens
Mustard Greens

In the Ziploc:
Red Kale
Arugula
Baby Lettuces
Pok Choy

Sweet Peppers
Hot Peppers
Tomatilloes
Cilantro
Eggplant
Diakon Radishes

Tomatillo Salsa

Tomatilloes- This is the bulk of the recipe so as many as you want
Garlic- 2 to 3 cloves
Cilantro- the bunch in your box
Hot Peppers- to taste
Sweet peppers- 4 to 5 peppers
½ cup of White Vinegar or lemon juice (less is fine if you are not going to can it)
2 T Salt
1 Red Onion
½ T cumin
½ T grape seed oil (or any high hear oil)


Take the husks off of the tomatilloes, wash and put in a large pan
Remove seeds and stem from hot peppers then add to pan
Add salt, vinegar and enough water so everything is covered
Cook on medium for 25 minutes

In a skillet,
Sauté onions, garlic, sweet peppers and cumin in oil
Add to the pan once browned

Cook everything for another 10 minutes then blend the whole mixture

I canned up a gallon of this salsa last night and it is great. If you decide to can it the headspace is ¼ inch and the cook time is 15 minutes for pints.
