I ordered peaches this year to can. I have only canned peaches one other time in my life, and it was probably 10 years ago with my mom. I forgot how much work it is!

There are 48 quarts on the shelf, and I’m feeling very accomplished. I figure by the time I get all the stickiness of the floors and counters and cabinet fronts, the pears I ordered should be ready.

I decided to use some of the peaches and made Dan put this foil-packet grilled peach crisp on the barbecue. I had to twist his arm, since everyone who knows him knows how much he hates desserts and sweets (wink, wink). [Read more…]

Springtime is here, and with it comes my favorite season for produce. I just love the fresh strawberries and asparagus. But I’m especially crazy about strawberries. If you are a big strawberry fan like me, you’ll also love my recipe for Strawberry Syrup.

My poor family (insert sarcasm here) had to endure 3 rounds of these fresh strawberry bars, as I tried to find the perfect recipe. It was a huge sacrifice, I’m sure! It didn’t stop them from devouring the bars, though! [Read more…]

I have been going through my kitchen, attempting to organize things. For all of our marriage, I’ve had quite a bit of cupboard space, up until 2 years ago when we moved to the homestead.

Our house is much smaller than the one we came from, but for the most part I’ve figured out how to make it work. But the kitchen is a completely different story. [Read more…]

Winter Fruit Salad

January 11, 2018

This Winter Fruit Salad is full of delicious, seasonal winter fruit. Eating fruit in the winter doesn’t have to be boring!

Other than the lack of sunshine, one of my least favorite things about winter is the dismal produce section. When we had a brunch for our Bible study, recently, I really wanted to add some fruit to the selection. Something lighter and more healthy than so much of the winter food we eat.

I usually try to shop for seasonal produce. While I LOVE strawberries, buying them at this time of year is always disappointing. Like other produce that isn’t in season, you’re more buying the idea of the fruit, since there’s very little flavor in out of season fruits. Because I wanted a fruit salad that actually tasted good, I decided to put together one packed full of winter’s season fruit, so I created this Winter Fruit Salad. [Read more…]
