“God will overflow your cup, so grab the biggest one you can find.” Rob Liano
Summer usually means a heavenly abundance of fresh fruit…An apple tree in the garden? A raspberry bush nearby? A strawberry field just a few meters away?… The summer often produces goods to a quantity that no family is able to eat whilst the fruit is still fresh. Using slightly over-ripened fruit, in majority of the households – leads to bottles of syrup or jars of jam.
It’s a common problem this time of year — the abundance of beautiful, ripe fruit leads the hungry eye to pick up more than one can possibly eat before those fruits get soft and squishy. Pancake sauce, salad dressing, smoothies and popsicles are also among the most common uses and by all means, they are wonderful. However, using the mushy, super sweet fruit pulp in quick bakes, like cobbler, crumble and pie, offer more sophisticated kitchen recycling projects. Making a cookie with fruit pulp might be a little different, but with a refreshing ice tea it delivers a light, instant joy. It is also a way to make the fruit-averse eat a healthy portion…
