What a crazy year it’s been! Ups and downs, turmoil and strife... Yet, in all this crazy, when I’m questioning if there’s still any goodness left... a simple and kind gesture can shed some warm sunshine in to a dismal time! 🍑 ☀️ 🍑 ☀️ 🍑 Much like the color of the glorious and golden LOCAL APRICOTS a jam fan recently gifted me! 🥰 It seems simple and silly, really, but when Susan contacted me to tell me she had boat loads of apricots and didn’t want them to go to waste, would I want some... uh yes please!!! 🥳 I prepared the next morning, getting my trusty fruit encrusted ladder out and said I was on my way... only to get there and discover... the apricots had already been picked... by Susan... FOR ME!!! 🎉🍑🎉🍑🎉 My day of fruit picking turned into a happy day of jam making with @mamava42 cutting up these glorious globes of fruity goodness! What a wonderful jam good day! Susan! THANK YOU for your extreme generosity and for bringing in some sunshine! I see a gift of jam in your future! 🙏🎉❤️🎉🙏 Here’s hoping you all have a sunny and sweet Monday! . . . . #kellebjammin #kelleb #apricot #local #pickedfresh #makersgonnamake #actofkindness #localfruit #gift #spreadlove #lubbock #lubbocktexas #apricotjam #sharingiscaring #thejamlady #myjam #thejam #jamgood #jamtastic (at Lubbock, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBvSuxig894/?igshid=4qbshz9y8xk4

Day 1: when cooking prepping is key - @simplycanning pickling recipe is a perfect reminder ! Check out her instructions on how to make crunchy pickles🙃🙂 . Start off by soaking the pickles for 12 hours in salt water - I adjusted the quantity to fit the number of pickles I have. One trick Sharon mentions is to cut the flowers at the end of the pickles as soon as you buy them, which I did not do so we shall see how the pickles will actually turn out 😁 . Stay tuned for day 2 that’s when the #canning fun begins and my favourite part !!! . . . . . #pickling #cucumber #canningseason #pickedfresh #local #summer #seasons #whatveganseat #veganlife #veganrecipes #plantbased #paleo #cleaneating #feedfeed #instafood #foodiegram #veganshare #noanimalsharmed #cleaneats @thefeedfeed @simplycanning @thefeedfeed.vegan @thefeedfeed.glutenfree #vegancommunity (at Cologne, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmd_bennPAT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x186t8y4vfx0
