Events for Horton Farmers Market October 29th, 2011 8:00 a.m. until 12:00pm

Meet me at the Market!The Horton Farmers' Market is a best-in-class market destination that promot

civic pride, shapes local culture and supports the regional economy by

providing access to high quality food producers, craftspeople and artisans.

The Horton Farmers' Market is located on Manitoba Street, 1/2 block North

from Talbot Street (at the Giant Tiger stop light) with plenty of free parking.

What an incredible season! It feels like the

chilly opening weekend in May was just a

few short weeks ago, hard to believe wev

gone through all 26 weeks of the 2011

season. Vendor sales were the highest in

history, and the crowds were in record

numbers. Our town should be proud of thi

amazing resource for local food. Our

community should feel fantastic about

keeping our dollars local, supportingbusiness incubation, and creating jobs righ

here in St. Thomas. We should be boastfu

that so many residents are interested in

learning about local producers, where our

food comes from, how its made and what

in it.

We cant think of a better way to close out

the season than to have an awesome

BERRYHILL FRUIT FARMThe Mutsu apple is a great all around apple for eat-ing, baking an storing for the winter. Try this recipefor baked apples. I bought apple baking dishes fromPinecroft that work nicely. (water is not necessarywhen using individual apple baking dishes)

Another really good storing apple is the Royal Gala.I've kept mine until March of the next year! Ofcourse, they were ready to be made into applehead dolls by then.

We will have potatoes by the bag and lots of pump-kins at the market too. See you there!Baked Apples 4 large good baking apples, such as Mutsu,Golden Delicious, or Jonagold 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon flour 1/4 cup chopped pecans 1/4 cup currants or chopped raisins 1 Tbsp butter 1/2 cup boiling waterMethod: 1 Preheat oven to 375F. Wash apples.Remove cores to 1/2 inch of the bottom of the ap-ples. It helps if you have an apple corer , but if not,you can use a paring knife to cut out first the stemarea, and then the core. Use a spoon to dig out theseeds. Make the holes about 3/4-inch to an inchwide.2 In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon,flour, currants/raisins, and pecans. Place apples in a8-inch-by-8-inch square baking pan. Stuff eachapple with this mixture. Top with a dot of butter(1/4 of the Tbps).3 Add boiling water to the baking pan. Bake 30-40minutes, until tender, but not mushy. Remove fromthe oven and baste the apples several times withthe pan juices.Serve warm with vanilla icecream on the side.Makes 4 servings.
