The foliage is peaking, with bright reds and oranges peeping through the river mist on chilly mornings. Just the time to sit back and enjoy a cider donut with a cup of Ode To Vermont.
With the arrival of many old favorites and some new cuties, we have officially hit squash critical mass. This week we welcome back the delicious and diminutive brulee and delightful koginut. Tucker from the Farm Upstream (the man who introduced us to Jimmy Nardello peppers) has once again revived an old heirloom—this time Thelma Sanders, a blonde, very sweet variety of acorn squash. Another gem rescued from extinction by the Seed Savers Exchange, this squash is described by Thelma herself as "better than sweet potatoes". Acorn, butternut, delicata, honeyboat, and spaghetti are still going strong, too. Enjoy your favorite with a big bowl of zucca and plenty of cheese.
And what pairs better with sweet roasted squash than a touch of smoke? We have smoked ricotta and scamorza from Maplebrook, a special seasonal ravioli featuring the aforementioned Jimmy Nardello peppers with smoked mozzarella from Via Ravioli, West Worcester Woodfired's amazing smoked nuts, award winning Smoked Onion Hot Sauce from Butterfly Bakery, cold smoked trout, maple smoked cheddar, and smokey taco seasoning.
Vermont has had a bumper pepper season, so it's the perfect time to chop, roast or puree a little summer sweetness for your freezer. Blackbird Organics have 2 pound bags of mixed Italian frying peppers joining their red bell peppers, and there are bags of mixed snacking and full size peppers from Jericho Settlers and River Berry. There are also hotter peppers (fresno, shishito, poblano, jalapeno), and cultured butter from Ploughgate infused with the fruity, smoky flavor of Basque espelette peppers. Is it time to mention Jimmy Nardello again...?
