Meet Amy and Maleah, our star interns this summer, and superb parking/security detail at last weekend’s FarmFest. I’m making popsicles for them at the moment, as it’s become farm tradition to keep our interns happy and cool with home made frozen treats. Not just any popsicles, ours are of course farm grown and bougie: raspberry/rosewater, blueberry/basil, plum/thyme. While I wish I could take credit for the flavor combos, I’m very indebted to Erica Strauss’ (NW Edible Life) flavor chart for jam. We of course steer clear of the boozy wet zings, but with Heat Dome II coming up, you may want to give it a try for popsicles, and save the jam for a cooler day. Also in anticipation of the heat, here’s my go to recipe for pasta salad, also here. Another chart format so you can mix and match to make the perfect combo from your CSA box. Stay cool!
