Yeah! The farmer’s markets are here. Every year I wait for the opening day. My friend Toni and I have been going for several years now, getting up on Saturday mornings to meet at 7:30. We go early, before the crowds, before the veggies have been picked over and handled by everyone, before the vendors have completely finished setting up. It’s cool, and mostly quiet still, everyone’s day is just starting. It takes till June and July before the local produce starts coming in, but there’s something wonderful to be found every week. Take a look….

Cardamom Scented Apple Turnovers

I know. I know that time has passed for apple recipes to come tumbling out. Fall is just a memory for most of us, and we’re looking for deeply spiced, long cooking, keep us warm through the cold night recipes. In spite of all that, apple turnovers have no season. Fragrant and still slightly warm, icing sticking to impatient fingers, the soft crack of flaky layers giving way as you bite down…..these need to stay around.
These apple turnovers have a faintly exotic spice, a warm scent and taste. You just might find yourself draping a silk scarf around your shoulders and searching for a Bollywood movie to watch as you enjoy them. Ok, that might be a stretch, but try them, they are so good. And easy…so very easy. Let me show you.
