“No Socks” Salad (So good, & so good for you, it’ll knock your socks off!)

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Put 2 c. cooked, chilled, diced chicken in large bowl.  Sprinkle on 1/2 tsp. lemon pepper & stir well.  Add 2 c. cooked & chilled whole wheat pasta and 3 c. cooked tender-crisp, chilled & diced Oceana County asparagus.  Sprinkle on 1/4 tsp. salt & stir gently to mix.  Add one Honeycrisp apple (diced with skin on ), 8 oz. Country Dairy Mild Cheddar Cheese cut into small cubes, and 1/4 c. oven-roasted sliced & salted almonds; stir gently to mix.  Pour on 1/2 c. (or more, if you like it zippier) Vidalia(R) Onion Honey Mustard Salad Dressing (available at Rennhack Orchards Market) & mix well.  Keep chilled until serving time.  Makes 8 main-dish servings.

I served up this original recipe at the National Asparagus Festival Food Show in Hart on June 11.  It was fun to see so many people there!

An apple a day. . .

Saturday, October 16th, 2010

We have harvested the apples on our farm in Hart, and are keeping many varieties in our cooler to sell at the market until Christmas!  We can’t predict exactly when a certain variety will sell out, but you can ask at the market for a general idea, so you can stock up.  We have a good supply of SweeTango(R) for the next few weeks.  They are amazing to eat fresh, add crunch & flavor to green salads or chicken pasta salad, and they make delicious pies, holding a nice slice.  If you haven’t tried this apple yet, what are you waiting for?  Stop in the market for a free sample!  Our fresh fruit sample shelf is just inside the front doors, to the left. 

 (Volunteers fixing up the Andre Bosse Center in Hart are enjoying SweeTango(R) apples today!  Thanks for helping!)

Apple Harvest is History

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Our 2010 apple harvest is over.  All of our varieties of apples have been picked now, and the latest-maturing apples are at the market.  Fuji is the last variety to ripen on our farm; it is a very hard (dense) apple with a sweet flavor, and it is a great “keeper” (stores well for a long time).  Of course, when keeping apples for more than a day or two, they will hold up best under refrigeration.  Keep them in the hydrator drawer in your refrigerator (but never in the same drawer as carrots) or in another cold storage location.  They look pretty in that bowl on your countertop, but they won’t stay fresh very long there.  We still have a number of varieties of our own apples at our market in Hart, including SweeTango(R), so enjoy them during this bountiful season!

Is SweeTango(R) Better Than Honeycrisp?

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Honeycrisp apples have been the gold standard of apples, and with the new SweeTango(R) apple comes the question, “Is it better than Honeycrisp?”  Each person gets to decide for himself/herself, but we are holding the Parents vs. Child Taste-Off  at our booth in Silver Lake September 11, in a good-natured attempt to quantify the answer.  Join us at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes Apple & BBQ Cook-Off Festival on Saturday, sample Honeycrisp (mom), Zestar! (dad), and SweeTango(R) (child), and vote for your favorite!  We will post the results at our market in Hart, and at www.rennhackmarket.com.  All three varieties will be fully ripe and tasty this year, so it will be a fair (and fun) contest!  (For more information about the festival, visit www.thinkdunes.com.)

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Yippee!  The harvest of SweeTango(R) apples begins todayon our farm in Hart!  These are the great new apples you’ve been waiting for!  We are pretty excited about them, as you might guess from our home page–three of the six rotating photos feature them!  One photo shows an orchard, one shows the top of a tree with apples on it, and one shows Dave enjoying a nice ripe SweeTango(R) apple!  Mmm-mmm!  The other photos show our fall plums, peaches, and sweet corn, all available & tasty!
