Harvest pears have already formed and there are incipient apples on the Link Wonder and Ben's Red. Arches of dainty blossom on the Tommy Knight intertwine with the sprawling Colloggett, and the Hockings Green and Snells Glass have never been covered in
Certainly fresh fruit qualifies on this score, and two of the best for desserts, apples and pears, are readily available even now, when spring has barely begun. Here she offers five satisfying ways to end a meal — or start your day.
Home Plates: The turducken of apple desserts
Some of us first hear about turducken and ask why. Others immediately wonder, "Hey, what other food ingredients can I stuff inside each other?"
The turducken, of course, is the impossibly over-the-top presentation of a boned chicken served inside a boned duck inside a boned turkey. Turducken has insinuated itself into mainstream culture to such an extent that you can find recipes galore online -- not to mention a website offering wild rice pecan-stuffed turducken for $69.95.
So first, let me say that I am not surprised that my neighbor, Peter the Artist, counts himself among those who contemplate other precarious food combos. Peter does indeed have a last name -- Langenbach. But he and his wife, Maureen, are well-known artists in Fremont, and their house and yard are a tribute to their creative talents. So, we think of him as "Peter the Artist" or "Peter the Bearer of Apples."
Anyway, Peter showed up a while back with the last of his apple crop and a vision for the perfect apple dessert, a sort of apple pie cake cobbler. Who knew that he wasn't alone?
