A love of homegrown food and shelves that are full, all in rural Norfolk. Canning, drying, frugal living (apart from new boots!) and generally being a very busy wheelbarrow fairy.

A wheelbarrow fairy full of apples.
As DS has been eating all the fruit leather (ok its not just him...its me too) decided that this batch of apples was destined to become leather (or roll ups, depends where you are) This is what the fruit puree looks like after a day in the dehyrdator. Just apples and sugar (and not too much sugar as it concentrates as it dries) Then snip snip with the kitchen scissors into fairy sized mouthfulls and we're done! Perfect, vaguely healthy snack food for bloggers and teenagers.
And here is the leather all jarred up and ready to munch. And yes, those are coffee jars (the coffee only bought when on special offer!) As we know I am a jar addict and you should see my stash of used and ready top be used again jars...no I'm not gonna go take a picture...they're in the shed and its chilly!
And just when you think there can't be many more windfalls, the wind blows some more. So, quarter box yesterday...and another full basket today! So todays full basket can go to EX...he can have the apple runs :-D Honest I'm a nice person...generous to a fault!!! Now off to figure out what should be written in a letter giving notice for a job for a friend! See..I am nice really:-P
*Update* OH just tried some apple leather 'I could resole my shoes with this' then he had a chew..ooh this is nice...takes another piece! Another convert to the appley goodness!!
