Market News

The Market is back open today and there is a hint of spring in the air. The forecast calls for temperatures we have not seen in a couple of months. I have seen several pictures of from our farmers showing their seedlings already started so more fresh produce may not be far away.

The recipe this week features the grapes from White City Produce and Greenhouse and the vanilla sugar from Cedar Thicket Farm. The grapes would probably be a good addition to many smoothies that are now being made.

Cranberry Almond White Chocolate Biscotti is a new item recently added by Wild Flours.

Thanks so much for your support of Stones River Market, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. We’ll see you on Wednesday at Southern Stained Glass at 310 West Main Street from 5:00 to 6: 30 pm!

Recipes

Please, share your recipes with us on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Stones River Market products, so we can try it too!

This week’s recipe was found at Yummly and Food52.

Ridiculously Easy Frozen Grapes and Yogurt

Serves 4 to 6

4 cups seedless grapes (your choice of colors)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cups plain yogurt (preferably Greek)
1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup sour cream

Rinse and drain the grapes leaving them moist. Place them in a bowl and toss with the granulated sugar. Transfer to a large freezer bag and freeze for at least two hours. Combine the yogurt, brown sugar and sour cream in a bowl and then refrigerate until ready to serve. To serve, spread some yogurt sauce on individual serving plates and top with as many frozen grapes as you like. Or surround a bowl of the sauce with the grapes and let everyone have at it!

I thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
