Here is a picture of all the fruit and veggies, I collected from my friend's small food bank. This does not include the chips and rolls I got for the church funeral this week or the chocolate sheet cake I got my brother-in-law because he said that he would like a cake. Cake might seem like a silly thing to want/need when you are struggling to put food on the table. But think about what might sound good to you if you were in their shoes. I also forgot about 10 cucumbers in the back of the car that also are not in this picture.
I love collecting this food because we use what we can. And then I also get to go out and bless other people. See those grape tomatoes in the little canister, she had about 30 of those that the store was going to throw out. I think I might end up borrowing some dehydrators from people and dehydrating a bunch of those tomatoes. I love to can apple butter from the apples that are on their way out after we have shared and eaten a few. Apple butter makes a great gift and is delicious on homemade bread or warm biscuits.
Here is a link to the Apple Butter recipe I use. Any more questions, just ask.
Happy Food Preserving!
