CINNAMON CUCUMBER RINGS
Gotten off a blog and tried. WOW! Might try with zucchini and keep in freezer for a huge centerpiece. Could do apple rings with exact recipe. Could easily be done with excess, too mature, cucumbers by growers at the newly opened FEED incubator kitchen in Madison, Wisconsin. Served as appetizer at the Tuesday, November 12th open house at FEED location.
