Preserving in Princeton

Pam Mount of Terhune Orchards in Princeton is frequently asked for her advice on freezing and canning the fresh fruit picked at the farm. Only once every summer, she offers a free class and teaches her secrets. This year’s class will be held tomorrow, Sat., Aug. 1 from 10 to 11 a.m. Call in advance to reserve your place. The class will be held rain or shine. Terhune Orchards’ own cider and donuts will be served as refreshments. For more information, call 609-924-2310 or visit www.terhuneorchards.com

Now that gardeners are in the thick of their first harvests and are putting up the berries of summer, here’s a video from Cooking Up A Story, in which Marge Braker, a retired home economics teacher, demonstrates how to make small batch jam using fresh strawberries, sugar, and other simple ingredients. See after the jump for the written recipe.

Marge Braker’s Small Batch Strawberry Jam

Ingredients:

* 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced (about 1½ pint baskets or 4 cups whole berries or 1 pound)
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* Option: Add a tablespoon or two of diced candied ginger

Directions:

1. Chill a small plate or bowl in the freezer or over ice water.
2. In a 10 or 12-inch wide skillet, bring fruit, sugar, and lemon juice to boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly and skimming foam as necessary. Cook about 8-10 minutes, until mixture begins to look syrupy and thickens slightly.
3. Spoon ½ teaspoon of the hot fruit onto the cold plate and let it rest for 30 seconds. Tip plate to one side; jam should be a soft gel that moves slightly. If mixture is thin and runs down side of plate, the gel is too soft. Return skillet to heat and cook jam 1 to 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and repeat test.
4. Cool jam to room temperature before serving. Because a minimum amount of sugar is used, the jam needs to be refrigerated to prevent mold from forming. Refrigerate 2-3 weeks.
5. For longer storage, freeze or process hot jam in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.**
6. **Option: If jars are sterilized (heated in boiling water for 10 minutes) it’s possible to use the inverted method to preserve jam: Pour hot jam into hot sterile jar leaving 1/8 inch head space. Wipe rim and apply prepared lid and ring. Screw ring on firmly. Invert jar and leave for 5 minutes. Turn jar right side up and let cool 12-24 hours. The heat from the jam will destroy mold spores. This method is not foolproof, so if you are preparing a lot of jam, process the jam in a boiling water canner.

Yield: Makes 1-1/2 cups

The Griggstown Quail Farm now has a blog that features recipes for seasonal produce. After the jump, see Chef Matt Sytsema’s recipes for Grilled Eggplant Lasagna and Tomato Basil Zucchini Boats.

Grilled Eggplant Lasagna Recipe

Serves 6 to 8

2 medium sized Italian Eggplant
1/3 cup olive oil
1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into thin slices
2 cups fresh tomato marinara sauce
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Finely milled sea salt and black pepper to taste
3 tbs shredded fresh basil

Preheat the grill.

Wash and trim away the stem ends of the eggplants. Slice the eggplants lengthwise into approximate ¼” thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a large platter and drizzle with a bit of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Arrange the seasoned slices on the hot grill and cook until the slices begin to brown and become tender but not crisp. While grilling brush the eggplant slices with a bit more olive oil as needed. Remove the tender cooked slices of eggplant from the grill and arrange half of the slices in the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ baking dish. Top with half of the mozzarella slices and spoon half of the marinara sauce evenly on top. Assemble a second layer of eggplant, marinara sauce and mozzarella and sprinkle with the parmesan to finish. Cover with foil and bake in a 350 oven until bubbly hot throughout. Top with the fresh basil and serve hot.

Tomato Basil Zucchini Boats Recipe

Serves 8 as a side or 4 as a main dish

This recipe also works well with yellow summer squash and or the nice little round variety of zucchini.

4 medium sized zucchini
¼ cup olive oil
1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped
2 small cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 medium tomato, coarsely chopped
3 tbs shredded fresh basil
¾ cup bread crumbs
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small dice
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Wash the zucchini. Trim and discard the stem and blossom ends. Cut in half lengthwise and using a melon baller or small ice cream scoop carve and reserve the center meat of the squash creating a uniform well or boat with about a 1″ thick shell. Coarsely chop the inside meat and heat the olive oil in a medium sized sauté pan. Add the onion and sauté until tender and just beginning to color. Add the chopped zucchini and garlic and continue to sauté until tender and fragrant, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium sized bowl to cool. Meanwhile arrange the zucchini boats in a baking pan just large enough to accommodate all in a single layer. Sprinkle each with a pinch of salt.

Add the tomato, basil, bread crumbs and mozzarella, toss to combine well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into the zucchini boats, dividing evenly and packing lightly. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and drizzle with a bit of additional olive oil. Bake in the oven until the zucchini is very tender and topping lightly browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve hot with rice pilaf for a main course.

To market, to market

Farmers’ markets rock everywhere in Central Jersey. You may have a great farmers’ market in your town. See after the jump for a list of towns with weekly or biweekly markets.

This week, we highlight the new downtown New Brunswick market and the Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance’s market in this story. Both are doing way more than just sell produce; they are bringing a sense of community to their hometowns and fostering real cultural changes through people’s eating habits.

And our timing is right, since August 2-8 is National Farmers Market Week as proclaimed by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.

See my photo gallery of the markets here.

Chef Ed Coss, who raised $1,500 for the HLTA earlier this month, with his fundraising dinner at the Milford Oyster House based on local foods purchased at the farmers’ market, is working with the Peach Council of New Jersey and developed special peach recipes to highlight the best of this season’s fruit. Get two of his recipes here.

For more about the HLTA’s August peach celebrations, see the next Food Chain post.

Meanwhile, another new farmers’ market has begun its first year of operation, the West Amwell Farmers’ Market.

Its wide variety of vendors includes Highland Gourmet, with farm-raised beef, kielbasa, baked goods and breads, a variety of mushrooms and cheeses including fresh mozzarella. From Podere di Melo Farm you can get eggs, certified naturally grown vegetables, honey, chicken, heritage pork and duck. Spring Run Farm has organic, in-season vegetables and produce, Baran Nursery has locally grown plants and produce, honey and cut flowers, Goat Hill Produce has handcrafted items as well as tomatoes, peppers, melons and peaches in season, and from Ambrosia you can get delicious pies, quiches, muffins and hummus.
The market is at 150 Rocktown-Lambertville Road, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday until Oct. 31.

Also at MyCentralJersey this week, read about the fair food coming up at the Middlesex County Fair on Cranbury Road starting Monday, and why Mark Spivey sometimes just needs a Pabst Blue Ribbon. See why Jay Jefferson Cooke didn’t like his sandwiches this week, and get some tips on using summer herbs, from Janet Leonardi’s discussion with Stockton Inn chef Abe Berisha.

Black Bass reopens

After over a year of restoration and renovation, the historic Black Bass Hotel (circa 1745) in Lumberville, Pa., has once again opened its doors. Known as a landmark in the greater Lambertville/New Hope area, the hotel and restaurant was purchased by Jack Thompson, a Doylestown, Pa. businessman, in early 2008 and has undergone restoration of its dining and tavern areas as well as complete reconstruction of its eight guest suites.

The Black Bass welcomes back John Barrett, its chef of the 12 years prior to the hotel’s closing. He brings back many favorite dishes, such as Charleston Meeting Street Crab and his Oven Roasted Sea Bass in a Louisiana Gumbo Sauce, as well adding several new additions. Barrett was also intimately involved in the complete redesign and renovation of the kitchen which is now outfitted with gleaming stainless steel and state-of-the-art appliances. All desserts are made on-premise, either in the hotel or at the new bakery in the recently re-opened Lumberville General Store.

Diners may enjoy lunch in The Restaurant at the Black Bass or, weather permitting, on the outside River Deck, both overlooking the Delaware. For dinner, guests may select the dinner menu in the main restaurant or more casual fare in the Tavern Room. The Sunday Champagne Brunch has also been brought back, and is available Sundays between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.  Guests with parties of 10-12 who desire a more intimate setting may reserve the Private Dining Room.

Musical Chocolate Sabbath

Chocolate lovers who appreciate music and have a spiritual bent might enjoy Temple Beth O’r/Beth Torah in Clark’s “Musical Chocolate Sabbath,” 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, what has been described as “the coming together of inspiring prayer and deliciously inspirational desserts.”

“Our aim is to create a truly meaningful prayer experience with a great deal of ruach or energetic spirit,” according to the temple’s Cantor Steven Stern.  “Folks will be singing and dancing in the aisles in celebration of welcoming the Sabbath.  At the appropriate point in the service, we put down our instruments and with a cappella voices we enter the Sabbath day of rest in a more contemplative and peaceful mode. It is a very special experience whether you are used to celebrating the Sabbath or are new to synagogue services.”

Following the service, everyone is welcomed into the community room for  socializing and a delicious assortment of chocolate treats and desserts.  The community is welcome to join, and there will be a special section for singles to gather and meet.  The synagogue is at 111 Valley Road in Clark. For more information, call the temple office at 732-381-8403.

Wegmans scores high on seafood sustainability, donates Strawberry Days proceeds

Greenpeace, the 30-year-old environmental activism organization, gives top ranking to the supermarket chain Wegmans, in its third edition of “Carting Away the Oceans,” Greenpeace’s seafood sustainability scorecard. The ratings show that more than half of the leading U.S. supermarkets have made some sign of progress in increasing the sustainability of their seafood operations.

Of the 20 largest American supermarket chains, nine have made no visible effort to increase the sustainability of their seafood operations and continue to ignore scientific warnings about the crisis facing global fisheries and the marine environment, Greenpeace says.

These include: Aldi, Costco, Giant Eagle, H.E.B., Meijer, Price Chopper, Publix, Trader Joe’s and Winn Dixie.  Despite the progress of many companies, all continue to stock “red list” seafood like orange roughy, swordfish, or Chilean sea bass – some of the world’s most critically imperiled species. None of the companies featured in the report guarantee that they won’t sell seafood from fisheries that are harming sea turtles, dolphins, seals, sea lions, or other marine mammals.

Wegmans stores in New Jersey also recently partnered with premium berry grower Driscoll’s and donated $15,000 to to the Children’s Home Society of New Jersey (CHS). The donation represents  50 cents for every Driscoll’s strawberry package sold at the seven Wegmans stores July 17 through July 20 during its annual “Strawberry Days” fundraising event.

In Central Jersey, Wegmans Food Markets are in Woodbridge, Bridgewater and Princeton.

Paraplegic feline has reason to celebrate

A paraplegic feline at a cat sanctuary here is taking baby steps in improving his ability to move around on his own.

Tashi was unable to walk or control his bladder when he arrived in November at Tabby’s Place, a cat sanctuary in the Ringoes section of the township, but thanks to physical therapy and a lot of attention, he spent his recent first birthday romping with fellow feline residents.

“We’re celebrating his birthday all month long,” Tabby’s Place Developmental Director Angela Townsend said.

Good Eating!

I was never a real hearty beefeater. Having been relocated to Texas, as the move drew closer, I heard from envious beef lovers…well, you get lots of good beef there and cheap too. Between you and me this little Yankee, born in Newark NJ, had no idea what she was doing living down the street from a long horn steer ranch. (BTW: Long horn steer are raised for movies, not consumption.) But I must say in the Lone Star State Texas beef is plentiful and beef brisket goes down mighty smooth after a few hours in a smoker. When in Rome or Texas do as the natives do. I am now more of a beef connoisseur.

“Plein Air” Shines at Riverrun Gallery

Lambertville – When the French took painting outdoors (en plein air) they changed painting forever. That tradition reached America where pockets of plein air art colonies flowered in places like Provincetown, New Hope and scores of other places. Riverrun Gallery in Lambertville celebrates this rich tradition with its First Annual Plein Air Exhibit. The opening reception will be from 7 to 9 p.m. on August 8 with all the participating artists on hand. The show will run daily except Tuesdays from 12 to 5 p.m. through August 30. The gallery is located at the Laceworks on Rt. 29, 287 South Main Street in Lambertville.

The show is being assembled by two painters, Ty Hodanish and Joe Kazimierczyk who in turn invited a number of the area’s best plein air painters to participate. Those exhibiting also include Mike Budden of Chesterfield, Bob Barrish of Princeton, Eleinne Basa of Jackson. Larry Chestnut of Trenton and Ken McEndoe of Hopewell. Also showing from the Pennsylvania side of the river are Helen Comolli and Gail Bracegirdle, both from Yardley, Materese Roche from Doylestown, John Murdock of Holicong, John Kayne of Pipersville, Ed Letven of Meadowbrook, Paul McGinn of Kintersville, Doug Sardo of Upper Black Eddy, and Paul McGinn of Kintersville.
