We are on the verge of full summer in a box ... but until then, more beets! The fourth box was pretty good, with two cartons of blackberries, a ton of green beans, Swiss chard, lots of apricots, a couple of ears of corn, a mini watermelon, carrots with dirty tops (sigh), candycane beets (sigh), a cucumber and two zucchinis (sigh).
We ate the corn and half the beans right away, and the blackberries we split evenly and completely devoured. The zucchini got shredded and frozen (we now have about eight cups of shredded zucchini in the freezer oy vey) and the apricots got frozen too: the apricots will be made into more BBQ sauce or pie filling; the zucchini will go into baked goods - I have a really easy Jiffy cornbread "recipe" that uses up a lot of shredded squash - or snuck into soups and sauces. We sauteed the chard with EVOO, garlic and chile flakes. And the watermelon got cubed and eaten - it was pretty good. I have on my list of things to do this weekend to deal with the cucumber and beets ... seems like some quick pickling is in the mix.
