Atchison Farmers’ Market
Market E-Newsletter for Saturday, September 21, 2013
8 a.m. to 12 noon
A couple more days and it will be Fall! It has been a strange summer. Not as hot, but somewhat rainy for this time of year. The Market will be open through Saturday, October 19. That will be the official closing day, but vendors are welcome to continue coming with their late season produce.
Don’t forget to go to the Taste of Atchison event this Friday evening on the Mall from 5 to 8 p.m. Our table will be on the north side of the Mall just a little west of Runyan’s. Haven will have mini-cupcakes at our table and people will be able to register for the October Market Bundle Give-Away.
Jessica Kaczek and her uncle, Steve Lacey, will play violin/fiddle for us this Saturday. Stop by to enjoy their great variety of music.
We will have one more Market Bundle Giveaway on the first Saturday of October. Lynn Hoffman is on vacation, but you can come to my stand (Long View Farm) to register.
Musicians are welcome to play at the Market. Just call me (Betty Fischer) so I can advertise for you (913 709 5050) if you want to play on one of the last four market days.

Chili-Brown Sugar Delicata Squash with Pears
Pears and delicata squash tossed with brown sugar, chili powder and bacon is a delectable combination. To make this vegetarian, omit the bacon and toss the squash and pears with the brown sugar and chili powder during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
4 servings, about 3/4 cup each;
20 minutes;
35 minutes
Ingredients
1 pound delicata squash (about 1 large)
2 medium ripe but firm pears, sliced
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 slices bacon
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out the seeds. Cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Toss in a large bowl with pears, oil, salt and pepper. Spread on a large baking sheet.
Roast the squash and pears until just tender, stirring once or twice, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Discard all but 2 teaspoons fat from the pan. Over medium heat, stir in water, brown sugar and chili powder. Add the squash and pears; toss to coat. Crumble the bacon on top.
