I was making zucchini bread last night when I discovered there was no applesauce in the house. Luckily, a few days before, my sister in law brought over a bag of freshly picked apples. I’m not sure of the type but they looked liked Granny Smith but were not tart. Apples + cook = homemade applesauce.

The applesauce turned out better than I expected. And it was so easy to make. If we decide to pick apples this fall you can bet I’ll can several in the form of applesauce.

The other day we purchased several nectarines from our local grocer. Never being much of a fruit eater, I was skeptical; probably a bad childhood experience. Anyway, after washing them and cutting them up it was time to eat them (it is ok to eat the skin but not the seed). All I can say is…delicious! They were heavenly.

I tried them in cereal and vanilla yogurt. A nice and healthy enhancement. Here is how to pick out summer fruits like nectarines.
