Work=Good End Results

The end of the summer brought some amazing sales on fruits we love. So I tried my hand at freezing a few different kinds. First I did blueberries which obviously aren't to hard:). We got several bags of those. Then I did 7 bags of bing cherries. Wash and remove stem and bag them up. Another pretty easy task.
Then I decided to try peaches. Peaches are my favorite fruit and I wanted to have some this winter, because man, they were so good this past season. So I googled freezing peaches and away to work I went.
Removing skins after a 4 minutes bath in boiling water.
Slicing those delicious peaches. I had to eat several along the way of course:).

And now my freezer has several bags of fruit. The peaches I eat plain, the blueberries go in smoothies(yes I like smoothies in the cold months:), and the bing cherries I just eat out of the bag too(they still have the seeds in them). Sadly winter hasn't even started and I only have 4 bags of cherries left. The blueberries and peaches are still plenty.
Now if only I could just get up the energy to do applesauce one of these days. Probably won't happen until next year, but I really would love to do it.
