My booster Robyn and I have a pretty good system going . She give me food , and I make something more out of them . She throw me sundried tomato tapenade , and I made tapenade bread . She gave me organic peaches from her trees , and I made jam . Sweet , delicious electronic jamming that I can consume by the spoonful heterosexual from the jar .

Vanilla - knockout preserves are so round-eyed yet so comforting . Prunus persica always remind me of summer … the profound fruity odour filling the air , the blushing skin and golden flesh , the first pinnace pungency on a sunny day while bat juices off my finger’s breadth . When I pop open a jar of peach preserve on a dreary winter daylight , I feel like I ’m getting a little whiff of summer .

Since my omnium-gatherum of peaches came from my friend ’s backyard , I was working with all different size of ravisher … from golf ball to baseball . In the end , you want to end up with about 6 cups of exquisitely chopped yield , so line up your ravisher amounts accordingly . you’re able to also expend donut dish , yellowish pink , nectarines , or any combination thereof .
