How to cook your fresh veggies & Market recipes!

by Jerome Farmers Market, August 19, 2016
We are so excited for the Market tomorrow. There will be a slew of fresh produce from a number of vendors so we thought we would post about how to cook your wonderfully fresh, organic produce.  There is nothing worse than seeing a beautiful freshly picked veggie go from crisp, delicious and full of flavor to a mushy soggy mess once cooked.  What is the point of fresh veggies if they don't have that wonderful crisp to them? 
So, in order to help you avoid turning these beautiful tasty morsels into mushy flavorless things, here are few tips we found on the internet  on how to cook veggies the right way.  Information provided via onegreenplant.org...

Watermelon Frozen Yogurt Popsicles

Makes 6 popsicles or a small batch of frozen yogurt

Puree the yogurt and watermelon in a food processor or blender until smooth.
If making popsicles: Carefully pour into molds, leaving about 0.5cm room from the top.
