I was scrolling through the pictures on my screensaver this afternoon, as one does when one is trying to avoid reading a chapter on control in management, and I kept coming across photos of delicious summer fruits.



And delicious things made from delicious summer fruits.



So I went to the freezer to see what I’d stashed away from last summer’s harvest. When I realized I had 2 gallon bags of strawberries, two of blueberries, one of rhubarb, and a quart bag of marionberries, I sprang into action. We are now eating a rather unphotogenic strawberry-blueberry-rhubarb crisp, with a sadly not-so-crispy top but a delicious fruit interior.
What else should I do with my frozen fruits? Crisps a-plenty? Cobblers? Pies? Tarts? What works best with frozen fruit? I have a week and a half left with butter as my faithful companion, and I’d like to do some good eating.

Those peaches look so beautiful and summery. My favorite concoction to compose with frozen fruit must be fruit smoothies. Then, jams. Peach jam. Yum!!
Just made my first jam of the year. Strawberries, straight from Israel. They weren’t bad either!

Oh, I wish I had peaches! I do like smoothies, but I never get around to making them. Especially when the mornings are chilly.

Just last week I pulled some of the blueberries we picked at your church last summer out of the deep freeze.
I baked a wonderful little blueberry-yogurt tart with filo as the crust.
Very good…email me if you want the recipe.

Everything looks so good! I’m going to have to find some rhubarb and make a pie. Is rhubarb even in season?

Rhubarb isn’t in season, although I did see some overpriced rhubarb in the store the other day. I’m just using up my frozen stash.
