So often this time of year as I bake I have to think of all the time I spent in the kitchen with my mother and my grandmother. Growing up with a fruit orchard I had to learn to cook with fruit. Pick, peel and can. Peel fruit without wasting. Help can a bushel before we could play. Now, I go to the local farmers market happy to support any local grower knowing the love and hard work they put into their fruit. I enjoy having and using all the wonderful fresh fruits this time of year. I know good fresh fruit, well tended fruit. That is what I use in my kitchen all year long. I freeze peaches, cherries and apples to use all winter. I like to provide my guests with the best quality I can find! Enjoy ! Gwenn Innkeeper Avenue Hotel Bed and Breakfast
