YUMMMMMMM!!!

Still working on those vacation pictures, but had to share this.......when I got home I found a bunch of the apricots had fallen on the ground and rotted.  I was soo bummed!!!!  Well, I went ahead and picked what was left on the tree, hoping I MIGHT have enough for a batch of jam.  Here is what was left.  Oh, and 1 plum.... hee hee

There were several that had little bite marks from the birds, and a few that were pretty ripe.   I knew I could still get some GOOD from this fruit so I started sifting and cutting and chopping.  I needed 3 cups of fruit for 1 batch of Apricot/Pineapple Jam.   I also didn't have time to make the jam right now, so I put the lemon juice from the recipe in with the chopped up fruit and put it in the freezer until I have time.   Well, much to my surprise I had enough for 3 batches of jam...YUMMMMMMM!!!!!!   

I have never been much of a Blueberry person, but after having the wonderful blueberries in Canada I am now hooked.............I'm not sure where our blueberries come from, but they must be "IN" season because the price is pretty good....... I found a pint for $1.99 and decided to freeze a bunch for use later.   I sifted thru them and spread them on a cookie sheet and put them in the freezer so they wouldn't stick together.  I have a few more pints to freeze, but I am looking forward to trying out a few new recipes......I wonder what Oatmeal blueberry cookies would taste like?????  Hmmmmm.    Or Bran muffins with blueberries????  Oh the ideas are endless!!!!!   

To make room in the freezer for all my fruit, I had to get rid of a few things. Well, I had an ice cream tub that was taking up WAY too much room, so.....I had to eat a bowl of ice cream..........Oh the sacrifice!!!   hee hee   The bad part is I think I consumed more calories than I burned at Zumba last night!!!!! :-}

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!
