…for “Great Pumpkins” from Restoration Farm …
… that roast into deep orange pulp …
… and transform into Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Topping for Thanksgiving breakfast.
Giving Thanks for an extra, Thanksgiving CSA share distribution from Restoration Farm for members who’ve already signed up for next year …
There is red and green cabbage, onions, potatoes, beautiful carrots, sweet potatoes, still more Swiss Chard and kale, garlic and butternut squash. The excitement at the distribution tent is palpable as members gather their vegetables and marvel at the bounty. Head Growers Caroline and Dan promise that this is really it, until next season! 
Giving Thanks for two kinds of pie for the Thanksgiving feast, because two pies are always better than one. The Pecan Pie is sweetened with dark maple syrup from Vermont and dark brown sugar, and the Sweet Potato Pie is made with sweet potatoes harvested at Restoration Farm. There is something to be said for enjoying a dessert on Thanksgiving Day that comes from that extraordinary place.

ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving T.W. I hope you have a wonderful day in the big apple.
ReplyDeleteYour pies look gorgeous and your crust looks perfect. I grew up in the south and a pecan pie was always on the menu as opposed to pumpkin or sweet potato pie. You've brought back fond memories for me.
