Harvest

The last of the summer tomatoes.  These romas will be made into a sauce and those little orange guys?  Those are Sungold Cherries.  The ABSOLUTE best cherry tomatoes you can grow.  From two gallon pots I got bowls and bowls full of them and they are the sweetest, most delicious cherry toms I have ever eaten.  Like popping gumballs...really.

I made a great recipe the other night.  I kind of followed a simple recipe for coleslaw, but doctored it up and made it into a sort of Fall-ish version. Try it...you'll love it!

FALL HARVEST SLAW

2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and thinly sliced
4 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1/2 a head, or use the bagged already shredded)
4 cups shredded red cabbage (about 1/2 a head, or use the bagged)
1 Cucumber, seeded and chopped
3/4 cups dried cranberries
3/4 cups roasted Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup cider vinegar (use the good, thick stuff like Braggs)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup light olive oil
2 t. sea salt
1/2 t. fresh ground pepper

Toss first 6 ingredients.  Mix up all the rest of the ingredients well and pour over slaw.  Combine well and serve right away.   Enjoy!
