A surplus of cherries is a problem I’m not used to having. But alas, I was faced with a few pounds of cherries, more than we could eat before they went bad. As I flipped through my canning books looking for a cherry jam recipe, something else caught my eye. Pickled cherries. It sounded both bizarre and intriguing at the same time. I’d heard of people pickling fruit but had never actually tried it....

One of the things we love most about participating in a CSA is being exposed to new a different things. Granted, after a few years of belonging to one we’re now familiar with that which was once new, but this year we were in for a treat. Sweet potato greens.

It appears I’ve posted 3 ice cream recipes in the last month, 2 this week alone. You don’t mind, do you? ‘Tis the season, after all. Although, I say that, knowing full well that some of y’all aren’t exactly experiencing ice cream weather yet (it snowed at my parents’ place in Colorado. In May.
