squash blossoms…farm to table

September 2, 2012

An easy do-it-yourself pictorial.

For the first time this year, I picked my own squash blossoms when I visited Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, CT. I happened to overhear someone asking directions to the appropriate field to pick them. I immediately got excited about the prospect of picking some myself. I have had fried squash blossoms in restaurants and really enjoyed them – even though I am not a big fried food lover. I decided to take the opportunity to try and cook some up myself.

I originally posted these photos on my facebook page, but have had many requests to put them on a blog post for those that don’t use facebook. So, here is how I prepared the squash blossoms…it was very easy and they were very delicious!
