Nature's Bounty


After losing our crop last year due to a late frost, it was a pleasure this year to enjoy the bounteous harvest of our fruit trees and berries. This picture shows some of the apples and prune plums, which were the last of the trees to produce. We also enjoyed some delicious peaches, Concord grapes, and blackberries. Most of those we made into preserves, which we are enjoying immensely. Becky also made some apple butter and some delicious apple desserts, and we also made some delicious desserts from the blackberries and peaches. My favorite was peach/blackberry cobbler, eaten warm with vanilla ice cream.. yum!
