Thanks to the generosity of friends, and a GREAT deal at Aldi, I have been busy processing goodies to enjoy. Here is what I had and what I made.
Grapes from two friends, I can't even guess at how many, LOTS):
Grape juice. 17 1/2 quarts
Grape jelly . Still to be made from some of the juice
Grape pie filling. 6 pies worth
Green tomatoes (a peck basket):
Fried green tomatoes (3 meals)
Tomatoes to ripen (25)
Green tomato mincemeat (adjusted to use what I had) 6 pints
39 cents a pound winter squash, 19 pounds for under $8:
Roasted and frozen for pie and quick breads as well as to eat as a side dish (24 cups)
I get such fulfillment when doing something like this. I only do a little these days, since there is only the two of us, but it is still fun.
