I was getting meat out of the freezer for supper tonight and couldn't help but smile when I saw all of the delicious fruits awaiting me this coming winter. Already I am looking forward to the fresh taste of the fruit as the bitter wind whips around out here in the country.
First, there are at least 12 pints of frozen blueberries. They will be delicious in muffins, pancakes, and just grabbed whole out of the freezer for a snack. They're even good for you! What a treat.
Then the strawberries. What's not to love about strawberries? I know that I have over 10 pounds of them in there, all sliced and ready to be added to other fruits or eaten on ice cream, in smoothies, or as shortcake. Such good stuff.
I have 9 quarts of frozen red raspberries. I can just imagine the raspberry muffins baking in the oven or a fresh raspberry pie just warm enough to melt the vanilla ice cream on top. Of course they are good on oatmeal or in muffins also. One of my favorite fruits.
And last but not least, a bushel of peaches frozen in various size packages. Some of the packages are bigger and have snowmen, Christmas trees, and PR and RR on them, which makes them those that are being saved for Christmas meals as this is one of the things my kids look forward to most of all. Slightly slushy, mixed with strawberries, and a medium rare fillet on the side. Yum. Then there are 20 packages waiting for us to enjoy the rest of the winter in other foods. Just brings back those golden days of the summer.
Doesn't take much to make me happy. No wonder people like eating at my house!

People love eating at your house for the food AND the company. Save some of those raspberries for me!
I will put YOUR name on at least one of the packages. Anything else?
