Fresh Origins September 2014: What's New on The Farm! Get in the Pink with their Smashing Pink Peppercorn and Transition to Fall with their Enticing Pumpkin Spice Fruit Crystals!
Pink Peppercorn, Fuyu Persimmon and Brandywine Tomato, Basil, Pink Pepper Infused Tomato Water & Olive Oil. Chef Shola Olunloyo.
What's New on the Farm: Pink Peppercorn
The Pink Peppercorn is new this season at Fresh Origins! They are harvesting them from the Peruvian Pepper Trees on the farm. These are fresh and colorful with a sweet, aromatic, citrusy and spicy flavor. They are especially useful for sauces, syrups, vinaigrettes, even desserts and cocktails. They can be crushed, ground, even pickled. Substitute for black pepper to impart a unique fruity, zesty aroma and taste. Fresh Origins also has fresh Green Peppercorn which is harvested just before they turn pink for a stronger more herbal, peppery flavor.
