 The
Cameo® makes an appearance in December! This
well-named, trademarked apple is our featured fruit of the
month for December.
The
dictionary defines a cameo as "a brief but dramatic appearance
of a prominent actor or actress in a single scene." That
definitely describes the Cameo®.
This apple variety is just beginning to enter
commercial production but we have some available for our Fruit
Subscription customers! Cameos® are a delicious
and attractive apple described as "crisp, juicy, and
sweet-tart." Click

December Featured Recipe
Pear
Pie
This is
a really yummy pear pie recipe. The pears stay a beautiful,
creamy white color even after cooked in the pie.
Pastry for
9 inch 2-crust pie
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. mace (optional)
5 cups pared and sliced fresh pears
half a lemon
2 tablespoons butter
Heat oven
to 375° F. Prepare pie crust and place bottom crust
in pie pan. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over pears
as you're slicing them so they don't turn brown. Stir
together sugar, flour and mace and mix with pear slices.
Put these in pie pan and place small chunks of butter
on top. Cover with top crust, seal edges and cut slits
in it to let the steam escape. Bake for about 45 minutes,
turning the pie periodically if your oven heats unevenly
so the edges are evenly browned.
