Fruit and Vegetable Preserving

Mary and I have spent the day catching up on putting away the harvest of the season. We first made coleslaw for a get together at a friend's house this evening. We were able to get all the ingredients out of our garden. It is always so exciting to make something using things that you have grown yourself.

I, then, cut all the broccoli that was ready. We blanched it then put it in bags. Some for veggie at mealtime and some for quiche. It always tastes so good in the middle of winter. We then tackled the apricots Chuck collected from underneath our tree this week while we were gone. We decided to make apricot jam from the ones that were not in good condition for eating. It smelled so good cooking and tasted so good when it cooled. Can't wait to eat it on some biscuits this week.

There are still some apricots left but now it is time to go to our friend's house. We will have to figure out what to do with them tomorrow.
