Each year, Amy Maurer, the noontime gardener on Bexley Public Radio offers a weekly report on the development of an edible plant growing in Bexley.
This year, Amy followed the growth and development of the Ziziphus fruit. The Zizphus tree featured in Amy's report grows on Maryland Avenue Ave. in North Bexley.
Amy gathered and selected the ripe fruit during late November. Egle Weiland prepared and served the Ziziphus as part of a dried fruit stuffing in pork tenderloin for an entree. Egle also prepared the Ziziphus as a dessert for after the meal.
The dessert recipe is as follows:
Ziziphus Dessert Recipe:

Juice of one lemon
Three Tbsp of brown sugar
Handful of raisins
Red wine, enough to soak fruit
