2010 ~ About Your Produce ~ Swiss Chard: Swiss Chard
wilts quickly, so put it in cold water for at least 10 minutes or
overnight to perk it up. Swiss Chard is not only beautifully
stunning but it is very versatile as well. It is not a well
known green, primarily because it does not keep well in supermarket
settings. Swiss Chard can be cooked in the same manner as
spinach or eaten fresh in salads, stalk and all. Below is a
trick for reviving your wilted greens should it occur. Pictures

JULY 14,
2010 ~ Today's CSA deliveries included fresh
peaches. You should store peaches in one layer on the counter
at room temperature until they are the ripeness you prefer. Your
peaches should be ripened at room temperature to allow the flavor to
develop properly.
When ripe, peaches should be
eaten or used. You may store your peaches in the crisper bin of
your refrigerator and they will keep for up to five days, however
they will loose some of their flavor when kept cold. CLICK
HERE for some wonderful peach recipes, including Peach
Cobbler, Salsa, Dumplings, and Jam.
