My humble gift is almost ready to be delivered (tomorrow) to my in-laws at the retirement home. As I posted above, applesauce, sliced pears, grape jelly, cranberry jelly and orange marmalade. The marmalade recipe made exactly 6 half-pints, so I only had a taste when I scraped the pot and licked the spoon. Delicious! But, it looks thin in the jars (moves when you invert the jar). Oh well. Now, I'll make some buttermilk biscuits (mother-in-law's recipe) and it's ready.

The other Kramer wood products are fantastic, as well! This is a small company and it feels good to support them.

Found our it helps improve eyesight, lungs and things like that. I have a mulberry tree in my backyard and community farm and I eat mostly the berries. Please let know any ways you all use mulberry on a daily basis. Take care.
