Apples and Bananas

I’ve been spending a lot of time this month turning this

into this

And turning these

into this

There is something so gratifying about turning fruits into something that will last for your family. And, let’s face it, not too many things sound better than that “pop” of a lid when you’re canning.

I ended up with jars and jars of apple butter, apple sauce, apples, apple jelly, and apple jelly that didn’t gel syrup. As well as frozen apples, bags of mashed bananas, sliced bananas and whole bananas. All kinds of ready to throw into bread, like this I made yesterday, or pancakes or muffins. The possibilities are really endless.

It all reminds me of a song I learned in elementary school

“I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas”

Sung different ways using different vowel sounds. Very educational. Vowel sounds, important stuff.

Don’t you know that song?

Anyone?

It’s a great song, you’re missing out if you don’t.

And thus ends my post on apples and bananas.
