Gravenstein Recipes
The Press Democrat’s MicheleAnna Jordan shares her favorite gravenstein recipes and asks her readers for theirs
by MicheleAnna.Jordan
which you can read here, I talk about Sebastopol’s signature fruit, the Gravenstein Apple. In that column, which includes recipes for Spicy Apple Chowder with Bacon and Spicy Wine Country Applesauce, I promise to post links to some of my favorite dishes from the Seasonal Pantry archives and so, here they are. If you have a minute, please share your favorite ways to enjoy Gravensteins in the comments section.
What I sensed in that column, written ten days ago, has unfolded exactly as I suspected it would. Fall has arrived early this year and its evocative scent is every where now.
