💙 Growing Blackberries, The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies... and more
Growing Your Own BlackberriesIf you want an easy-to-grow fruit that will yield a large harvest year after year, blackberries are a great way to go! We've grown blackberries for the last 10 years, and I highly recommend them for gardeners of all levels. You can even grow them in a subdivision! Thick Chocolate Chip CookiesThese cookies are absolutely stuffed with chocolate and are completely dangerous (because they are addictive!) I freeze the dough balls so that we can have a few cookies whenever we want. They are the dessert item that my friends and family most often request! Easy Apricot Jam (Preserves)One of my favorite things is harvesting peaches and apricots in the summer! This apricot jam is so easy to make and versatile! We use it on toast, add it to glaze for pork chops, and more! Get the recipe and make your own with fresh or frozen apricots! Classic Homemade Pizza CrustUnlike my quick pizza crust that doesn't require yeast, this recipe is a delicious classic pizza crust with a double rise. It yields 2 finished crusts, but I like to double or triple it and make them in bulk for the freezer! Instructions for freezing are included in the post! Strawberry Zucchini Fruit LeatherHomemade fruit leather is not only a delicious snack, but also a great way to sneak in some vegetables for otherwise picky eaters! This recipe is almost 100% zucchini, but you would never know it because it tastes JUST like strawberries! Get the easy recipe today! Thanks for Reading!

We will be back with another newsletter soon, so stay tuned! ~ Jason and Victoria |
