Thursday's Harvest

Well, I must say I had lots of cukes ready to pick today in the garden.
I did grow an odd variety this year. I thought I was picking out a normal grocery store variety and it turned out to be longer and thinner.
I must admit they have smaller seeds and are much nicer to eat than the normal ones.

The Quest To Can My Own Pie Fillings

At the Greene County Fair, I found jars of apple pie filling in the canning exhibit. This has made me go on a quest to find a recipe for canning my own pie filling.
This recipe has 4 1/2 stars by it...... (sounds promising)

This next recipe contains gelatin.

I am now on the look out for apples in my area to try one of these recipes out.
If you have any ideas on a good pie filling recipe please leave a comment.

We are always trying to get photos of this guy. He is very uneasy around people. Everytime we get near him he flys off. Today I caught him while driving by in my car.
