Today is Bountiful Basket Day!!!!


This time I ordered 2 regular baskets, 2 Italian themed add ons and a box of cherries.  I cannot wait to get home this afternoon and start deciding what I am doing with it all.  My family is hoping for home made pasta sauce being canned for the next couple of months. 

I remember a time as a child that my grandmother canned cherries that were locally grown in the mountains near here.  I was very young but it is one of my fondest summer memories of my mothers home made ice cream.  We used those cherries to pour over the ice cream.  I have no earthly idea how she made them but I think I am planning to maybe try to hopefully figure out something close to the way she did it. 

So watch for updates. 
 UPDATE NUMBER ONE>   This is a combination of things that came in the Italian add ons and and things I already had in the fridge from past shopping trips and onions from the last basket.  Add to it a bunch of tomatoes that a friend gave me.  They were a little mushy in places so I turned them in to the tomato sauce that will be the base of this round of pasta sauce.  They are cooked and cooling over night now so I am going to hit the bed early and get up early to add to it before church tomorrow.
