(Perhaps not as pricey, though!) We started picking our olives today and our crop is as light as all other olive farms in California.  We\u2019ll probably pick less than 1\/4 the amount of last year\u2019s record crop\u2013 but what we do harvest will be really good! \n\nAnd, we\u2019ll send each of you some ripe black olives for cuing so you can make your own dry-cured olives.  These unusually cold nights we\u2019ve been having in Brentwood are said to increase the Oleic Acid content of the olives, which will give them that extra-sharp flavor we look for in our oil\u2026\u2026...it will also make for great cured olives.  It\u2019s a great project for kids\u2026..We\u2019ll send instructions with the olives next week. \n\nBon App\u00e9tit, \n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/happychildcsa.com\/assets\/FarmerAlSig.gif\" width=\"250\" alt=\"Signature of Farmer Al\"> \n\n\n<b>Poached Pears<\/b> \n\nYou\u2019re probably starting to look for creative ideas for using up some of your pears\u2013 I know the Warren Pears are usually the first to be devoured in my household, while the last pears standing are the Boscs\u2019\u2013 speaking of standing\u2013 they are perfect for arranging in an oven proof  baking dish and poaching!  \n\nIf you\u2019ve never poached pears before, you might be surprised at how easy it is\u2013 after looking at a few different recipes on epicurious.com, I came up with a variation on some recipes I\u2019d seen using ingredients I had on hand.  \n\nI wanted to use up a bottle of \u2018Marker\u2019s Mark\u2019 bourbon that I knew I was never going to drink\u2013(I\u2019m not a big Manhattan fan) so, in a Dutch oven, I combined 1 Cup bourbon with 1 cup grape juice, a 1\/2 stick of butter, 1\/4 cup sugar sprinkled over the peeled pears, stems in tact, which miraculously stood up all on their own without even cutting the bottoms down, and a dash of bourbon vanilla to the mix.  \n\nOven heat was on 400 F for the first hour, then I took the heat down to 325 for the last 1\/2 hour or so.  The liquid almost cooked off, but there was a nice sauce remaining to drizzle over the pears and the vanilla ice cream served in bowls.  For ease of eating, I actually cut the fruit off the stems and served the pears sans cores, but the presentation is rather pretty when the pears are left whole. \n-From Melissa, CSA Coordinator \n\n<b>Note!
