Author Notes
I try to use as many local, organic ingredients as possible when I cook. Since I live in Michigan and our growing season is winding down, it's pretty amazing to get all local greens, raspberries, pears, and onions, which are the primary ingredients in this recipe. While greens are no longer *officially* in season, I get mine through a local CSA (community supported agriculture) group. All the other produce comes from the local farmers' market. —Marcita7
