ugly CSA week 10

[cellio]

• 2 bell peppers, 1 medium green and 1 very large half-orange (hoping it'll keep going)
• 1 zucchino
• 1 large acorn squash
• 1 medium red onion
• 8 medium Bartlet pears
• 7 medium-large Macintosh? apples

Weight: about 9 pounds.

I like fall squashes -- butternut, acorn, delicata, all good! I would be happy to get more of those. (And I wouldn't say no to more onions; a singleton surprised me a little.)

The manifest said Macintosh apples. Most images I found are redder than these, but maybe that's an effect of when they were picked.

Last week's apples were very good as apple crisp. I might do more of that, or make applesauce, or maybe it's time to dry some. (I like dried fruit, but last time I made it I had a working dehydrator. Time to learn how to do that in an oven.)

ZucchinO hee. I wish I could send you the dehydrator I have. I have no space to use it Dehydrating in an oven is often annoying. Turning it down so low causes gas leakage.

What have you been doing with the pears?

apple color is influenced by how much sun it receives, as well, so interior apples (the ones under the most leaves) can be less showy.
My mac tree was rather pale as well, but that should not affect taste or texture much.

Nice haul!
