It won’t take the place of cheese and pepperoni

A café in the Public Market in Wenatchee WA creates a pizza for the fruit in season.  Peaches are just finishing up so this month it’s bacon and peach with a drizzle of honey.  It was quite tasty.

Just beyond Wenatchee is Cashmere, home of Liberty Orchards that makes candy based on local fruits.  (sort of like Summerland Sweets in BC but a bit more down home).  Their signature candy is a fruit jelly with walnuts added; one based on apples (Aplets) and one apricots (Coplets). We toured their little factory.  Its all pretty manual but they still manage to make 2,000,000 pounds of candy a year.  We sampled of course which led to a bit of buying.  I love factory tours.

A stop at Orondo Orchards for fresh apple cider and cider cake donuts.

We spent the night just across the state line into Oregon at a great little campground at the Sherman County Fairgrounds.  It is well kept, has all the amenities, and a local hostess who filled us in on all the area happenings so we wouldn’t miss anything.
