\"Hoop<\/a>
Hoop House “B” Unharmed will save the day. Providing Greens for our last Fall CSA Pick-up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have been moving snow for the past two days after the 30 inches we got on Saturday night. Fortunately, we have the root crops for next Saturday’s \u00a0last Fall CSA pick-up all dug and in cold storage! We will be digging kale out of the snow later in the week and harvesting salad greens from under one collapsed hoop house. The weight of the snow was too much for it! Yesterday, we took a team of Suffolk Punch horses out to break a trail with the big bob sled and they were so worn out from ploughing through the snow that we had to turn around before we reached the main garden area and head back up to the barn. The snow has settled somewhat today and we are expecting to be able to make it down to the garden by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

I have had my eye out for onion recipes because we have had such a bumper crop of onions. The following two recipes are\u00a0from\u00a0Small-Batch Preserving\u00a0<\/em>by Ellie Topp and Margaret Howard.<\/p>\n

Caramelized Red Onion Relish\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Balsamic vinegar is the magic ingredient in this recipe. It adds a pungent sweetness to the caramelized onions. Serve with barbecued or broiled meats such as steak, lamb chops and chicken.<\/p>\n

2 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 large red onions, peeled<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup \u00a0 \u00a0firmly packed brown sugar<\/p>\n

1 cup \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0dry red wine<\/p>\n

3 tbsp \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 balsamic vinegar<\/p>\n

1\/8 tsp \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0each: salt and freshly ground pepper<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0Slice onions into very thin slices. Combine onions and sugar in a heavy non-stick skillet. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat for about 25 minutes or until onions turn golden and start to caramelize, stirring frequently.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Stir in wine and vinegar. Bring to a boil over hight heat, reduce heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into clean jar and refrigerate to use within 3 weeks or freeze.<\/p>\n

Caramelized Red Onion and Tomato Pizza\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>This tasty appetizer is easily prepared using Caramelized Red Onion Relish<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Caramelized Red Onion Relish<\/p>\n

4 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0individual pizza crusts<\/p>\n

1 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0medium tomato, diced<\/p>\n

2 cups \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 shredded mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n

Divide onion mixture among pizza crusts, spreading evenly. Combine tomato and cheese; sprinkle over onion. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted. Cut each pizza into 6 wedges.<\/p>\n

Makes 24 appetizers.<\/p>\n
