We love to enter the fair every year and we’ve won blue ribbons in the past. We had never tried this combination of strawberries and oranges and the flavor comes from fresh squeezed orange juice. It’s good stuff. The strawberries are from a local berry patch near Minneapolis.

Nothing tastes better in the winter than a jar of homemade applesauce. With the apple harvest in full swing, now is the time to make that tasty, winter treat. I like to use a variety of apples mixed together to make the most flavorful applesauce. Choose a mixture of Red and Yellow Delicious, Jonathan, Fuji, Cortland, Sunsweet, or any of your other favorites.
