The Fruit of My Fruit Labor

Slowly I've been working through the waiting fruit from last Thursdays picking session. I still have some blueberries that may get frozen or turned into a dessert but I've cooked or canned the bulk of it. Other than the blueberries that have been eaten, which was probably 2 pounds of blueberries. They're like nature's candy. Yum.


There are three batches of jam so far... nectarine, nectarine and raspberry, and blueberry.


This nectarine and raspberry jam came out oh so good. There are only five jars so I'm saving them for a special occasion or the dead of winter when I need a taste of summer.


This morning I made a blackberry cobbler before the heat of the day. My kitchen is the hottest room in the house without cooking and like a sauna on a summer day if I bake something. There was too much berry sauce compared to the topping so the extra sauce is in the freezer waiting for another day.


This is what I had for breakfast. Shhh. Don't tell anyone.


And zucchini isn't technically a fruit and it wasn't technically my labor but I made cheddar and zucchini biscuits with our CSA zucchini. I'll serve them with dinner tonight.
