INDOOR MARKET this Wed., Dec. 14
////////////////////////////////
HAPPY WINTER HOLIDAYS TO ONE AND ALL!
Come enjoy the INDOOR Canterbury Community Farmers’ Market
this Wednesday, December 14, from 4-6:30pm in the historic Town Hall,
Canterbury Center (of course)!
Once again we will have a full house, and shoppers had best
be prepared to rub shoulders with their neighbors while browsing all the
goodies. Prepare to stock up for good eating throughout the colder months, and
don’t forget to bring several canvas bags, your appetite, and a list of what
you need for Christmas and winter holiday presents.
You will be pleased to find the same excellent selection of
vendors who attended the November Market. Goods for sale include (but aren’t
limited to) veggies and fruit, breads both sweet and savory, meats, jams &
jellies, eggs, maple products, wine, homemade candy and fudge, soap, woolens, woodenware,
crafts, & more!

The MARKET PICK will be ONIONS.
RECIPE: Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Soup
Sweet and earthy, this soup goes great with homemade bread
(which you can buy at the Farmers’ Market if you like)!
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoon butter
5 large sweet onions, thinly sliced1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 quarts chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the margarine
or butter.
2. Add the onions and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 to 7
minutes, or until browned.
3. Add the sugar and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes longer.
4. Add the sweet potatoes, broth, allspice, thyme, nutmeg, salt,
and pepper and bring to a boil.
5. Quickly reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer,
uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sweet potato pieces are
fork-tender.
6. Adjust the seasonings and serve.
Note: For a smoother soup, transfer the ingredients to a
food processor after the ingredients are fork-tender and puree in batches, or
use an immersion blender.
