Unfortunately I'm a zone 4, so I can only dream about pomegranates and grapes... When we get imported grapes, I like to make a chicken and grape salad. It's a very exotic dish for us :-) .<br />What zone are you?<br />Blessings,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929067122482175902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-54290814839263419762014-08-24T16:44:01.241-05:002014-08-24T16:44:01.241-05:00An excellent article as usual.

Thanks for the tips!<br />I was given BAGS of fresh pears last year. I dried some for snacks, assembled a few pear crisps to freeze, canned pear butter, and froze chunks to put in smoothies.

Getting to know your neighbors is a real blessing and helps to give you a wider variety of fresh foods and friendship :) It's a win, win!JEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300505126646960374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-63729677545147137792013-04-24T19:50:20.216-05:002013-04-24T19:50:20.216-05:00LOVE this post!

And the walnuts are SO MUCH WORK!!! But I'm glad I have them. <br /><br />I wish I had 1 apple instead of 3, and had a pear and/or another type of fruit, but this year I'm going to try and TRADE someone local who has a different kind of fruit. I tried last year and couldn't find anyone. Fingers crossed about this year!

The things we have in abundance are far different from yours (oh how fun it would be to be able to grow some figs!) but we have learned a variety of ways to be able to use squash, zucchini and raspberries. God blesses us not only with an abundance of food but also with minds that can creatively figure out various ways to use it.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137578215906638858.post-55496717108905537462012-09-24T19:58:48.219-05:002012-09-24T19:58:48.219-05:00Thank you for sharing.
