First, at Valley Orchard, we got Early Gold apples and four pints of raspberries. There were barely any apples left on the tree, but I'm tall and resourceful and managed to get a fairly large bag. Dave and I pretty much picked their first batch of fall red raspberries, as well as one pint of champagne raspberries.
Over at Susie's, we got a half-bushel of hot peppers:
And a half-bushel of sweet peppers:
And also a dozen ears of corn. As you can tell, yes, this is a lot of fruits and vegetables. I'm planning on freezing some of the peppers right off:
As well as the corn, which will be good in winter, when I'm missing the corn.
For the rest, I'm planning on doing raspberry peach jam and freezing the remaining raspberries. I also want to do pickled banana peppers (i.e., pepperoncini), tomato and pepper chutney, and hot sauce. I am also pondering whether to freeze the jalapenos or make pickled jalapenos, we'll see. Gotta love summer!
