Along with house came a small orchard! We have:
red/green apples
figs
grapes
pears
muscadines
blackberries
blueberries
pecans
and Walnuts!
and Walnuts!
We've picked more fruit in the last 2 months than any of us have ever picked in our whole lives.....ever! Especially blueberries, blackberries, and grapes! I made a ton of cobblers and blueberry pancakes (see picture below) but that wasn't good enough....Jeb wanted jelly! I have no clue how to make jelly! Surprised? Lucky for me, my Mamaw and Papa can! The last time they visited they took home a bag full of grapes and made 8 jars of jelly! Then they called to tell me how good it was and give me detailed instructions on how to make it.....apparently I was going to make it! So, with a little help from papa, I made 4 jars of grape jelly.....really good grape jelly! It taste nothing like the stuff I buy from the store! Now I can add "jelly making" to my list of things I've learned from Mamaw and Papa!
This is just what I had picked that day! Jeb, Emma, and El also had bags full!
mmmm....Blueberry Pancakes!
Grape Jelly!
