Ok, so this is your chance to make the green tomato spice cake-it is really good! Also make those fried green tomatoes. The red radish is great in salad with your radicchio. Roasting veggies makes them all taste better! Roast cabbage in wedges, roast those shallots and onions, crinkle cut your potatoes and roast those as well.
Enjoy your veggies this week. Next Sunday is the Thanksgiving Harvest. This is an add on to the winter share. Please let me know ASAP if you want in and are not yet signed-up. The cost is $40 and paid up front.
I am almost ready to put my glazed ceramics in the kiln. I am excited to show you all what a few hours in my clay studio can produce. I can’t wait to turn focus there for a few months so I can take a break from farming and doctoring and create. I will have the load out for display and purchase on November 20th. If you want a holiday wreath come see me at the Beaverton Farmers Market on 11/19 from 8:30 – 1:30. We will have tons of bird feeds and a few dried wreaths and swags for sale.
Today is Juivencio’s last harvest until Mid December he leaves for three weeks to Honduras this week. I will miss him so much. Hoping for the best trip ever.
Green tomato spice cake
(Lyn’s notes: I added ½ teaspoon ground cloves and 1 teaspoon ground ginger and I skipped the raisins and added 1 cup brown sugar and ½ cup white)
Ingredients
4 cups chopped green tomatoes
1 tablespoon salt
½ cup butter
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup raisins
½ cup chopped walnuts
Place chopped tomatoes in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt. Let stand for 10 minutes. Place in a colander, rinse with cold water and drain.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat until creamy.
Sift together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add raisins and nuts to the dry mixture; add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Dough will be very stiff. Mix well.
Add drained tomatoes and mix well. Pour into the prepared 9 x 13 inch pan.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
