Fruit
Apple, Lemon and Gin Shandy

Apple Cinnamon Raisin Indian Pudding
Sorry, cannot remember the original source for this recipe.
Apple Pecan Chipotle Cake
A decadent use for those yummy no-spray apples. I have a weakness for recipes that juxtapose sweet and hot.

Tyler Williams of Woodfire Grill demonstrated this recipe at Morningside Farmers Market earlier this month. It’s a perfect use of several things in your box (substitute more beets if you don’t have carrots around). Blackberries are in season right this minute and available at most local farmers markets this weekend, so stock up! No faro on hand? Substitute Israeli couscous, orzo or even rice.
