1 pint Strawberries,* hulled and sliced
1 Mango, peeled, seeded, and diced (or)
1 Kiwi, peeled, sliced, and diced.

Process the sugar and mint leaves in a coffee grinder ( or pound the mint and half the sugar in a mortar until finely ground, stir in the remaining sugar) In a medium sized bowl, toss the strawberries and mango (or kiwi) cubes with the mint sugar.

Market News
WELCOME Clemson Locally Grown Members.
Order today for pickup Tuesday from 4-5:15 PM at Clemson Montessori School., Tuesday 4-6 at Swamp Rabbit Café, and Wed 8-8 at Whole Foods Market, Greenville.
*NEW DROP-OFF ARRANGEMENTS BEGIN IN JUNE: Beginning on June 4, Putney Farm/ Upstate Locally Grown Market will have a farmer’s Market booth on Tuesday from 5-8PM at Anderson Farmer’s Market.
Where: Anderson Farmer’s Market
When: 5-8 PM on Tuesdays.
What: Farmer’s Market Booth and CLG pick-up opportunity. Many of your favorite growers will be there with their fresh veggies and fruit. This will be an opportunity to pick up extras that aren’t (yet) offered on CLG.
If some of you cannot make it then, we are hoping that we will have a volunteer to relay your products to you in Clemson, or have an earlier drop-off; or……What is your thought about it? Please let me know here what your ideas are; we are a cooperative effort, and your ideas help to run our market better. Donna
OCCASIONAL CSA:(NEW) What you will see in the occasional CSA this week: an array of baby lettuces from Putney Farm, with a few micro greens of amaranth and Lamb’s quarters, a spring onion, an herb sampler, and edible flowers to garnish a freshly harvested garden green and herb salad. ( Suggestion: A simple vinaigrette of extra-virgin olive oil, herb, balsamic or wine vinegar, salt and pepper is best to allow the other flavors of the herbs, greens and flowers to shine through.)
The featured eggs will be Jumbo Fresh Duck Eggs. These jumbo eggs are wonderful for baking, because they add fluff to cakes, pancakes, etc. Besides baking, the rich flavor and texture also lend a boost to an _egg salad _or potato salad, and we love them as boiled, fried, or scrambled eggs. Your CSA bag will be rounded off with braising greens, a cheese, and a pint of freshly harvested strawberries for dessert. Order early while quantities last.
