Refreshing Recipes for Summer

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Join us at our Demo Kiosk on Saturday August 21, anytime between 3:00-5:00 p.m. and taste the possibilities!

Chilled fruit soups are a thrill of July and August, and Produce Possibilities features a melon soup recipe using local watermelon, ripe at the peak of the season. Melon balls are a cinch to make with the right tool, and add yummy texture to this smooth soup. This weeks recipe makes a great starter as is or can be served as a dessert. For extra fun, try spiking the soup with a little cognac or rum!

For our delicious Papaya Coconut Chicken recipe, the chicken marinade calls for an herbal orange spice tea blend that can be found in the bulk spice department, and purchased in the exact amount needed. This convenience and money-saving option also applies to the coconut flakes, curry powder and cayenne pepper.

Ripe papaya is a very rich, deep orange color.  Don’t bother with a papaya that’s not ripe.
