A bright sunny Sunday was spent
here. We all got into posing as cranberry farmers.
Jamie got a temporary
tatoo of a lizard painted on.
On the farm were some ponds full of frogs. I am sure the boys could have spent the entire morning just trying to catch the frogs. I was a little worried that someone was going to fall in and get soaked, but everyone managed to stay dry.
This picture does not do justice. The view was unbelievable.
We waited in line for 30m for these. There was a lot of pent up energy needing to be released.
I picked up 10lbs of cranberries to try drying again. Last year I had some success. They are not as sweet as the store bought ones, but at least I know what is in them. I worked out a system of lining them up in the groove of the cutting board and slicing a row of them at a time. They need to be sliced because they are so big. Thirty minutes later and this is what I had........
This is 5lbs sliced and ready for syrup. Then they go into the
deep freezer for three months (to sweeten up) before they are ready to dry in the dehydrator. Now, what am I going to do with the other 5lbs? Any suggestions?
