I will do the same as last year and keep them green in the cool and have them ripen slowly. That way, I can process a small pot at a time so I can fit it in my busy schedule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32203051.post-11634840631821210512008-10-03T23:03:00.000-07:002008-10-03T23:03:00.000-07:00NYD, Ginger is a must have in the winter...warms t...NYD, Ginger is a must have in the winter...warms the body and soul and keeps those colds at bay.

You can use them as you do blueberries, yes, even in baking (or smoothies). It might save you some time. Or make raisins. I did that one year and they were awesome. And the applesauce is great added to raw fresh berries and either eaten like that or dried to make fruit leather. I always use applesauce as a base for my fruit leather.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08423696800295940382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32203051.post-32237910417424516132008-09-29T08:52:00.000-07:002008-09-29T08:52:00.000-07:00Mone, The wild bears don't really feel too comfort...Mone, The wild bears don't really feel too comfortable if there are people around, so they usually stay clear of us.

So far we've made 8qt of sauce and an apple crisp.<BR/><BR/>We plan on getting another 40lbs of apples but pears are on the way, my tomatoes need canned, I have a few pint worth of cucumbers to pickle. We also found an alley of neglected grapes. Maybe I should do grape jam.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow I'm overwhelmed with preserving now.
