Jeff and I worked the table at Farm City where we displayed the harvest from the Smith and Bergen patch. We each made two kinds of cornbread using a farmer grown and ground Iroquois white cornmeal from Spence Farm and a flint/dent blend from Cayuga Pure Organics in Ithaca.
My recipe came from the folks at Spence Farm and Jeff's came from the "Settlement Cookbook The Way to a Man's Heart" by Mrs. Simon Kander, Mrs. Henry Schoenfeld.
There was no time to take a picture of the cornbread as the three loaves and a bunch of muffins were snapped up in about an hour.
Later on in the evening Marie Viljoen came over with the most delicious hominy made from the Iroquois shortnose white corn I grew last year in Prospect Park. It was cooked with fresh, slow-cooked pork belly. We had originally planned to serve the hominy at the Farm City table but city regulations prevented it -- even though Marie, I'm sure, wore a hairnet at home while preparing it! Too bad for the Farm City folks -- but good new for us who got to enjoy it later. Once again there was no time to take a picture of the delicious dish as we were too busy eating it. Incidentally Marie also won several blue ribbons in the Green Thumb harvest competition yesterday. Check out her cool blog and her ribbons at 66 square feet
