So many ways to use fruit! 🍇🍊🍐

Hi Achternaam,

When it comes to preserving fruit, most home canners I know start with recipes like applesauce, pie filling, or fruit in a sugar syrup. And I do a lot of those things too!

But there are lots of other fun projects you make if you have lots of fruit on hand. (PS: You might want to bookmark these pages for whenever you typically have extra fruit, since the time of year can vary for us all, depending on where you get your produce.)

Here are some ideas!

You can cook down the sauce into a thick, rich fruit butter. And no, fruit butter isn’t just for apples! Learn how to make all kinds of fruit butter here.

One special kind of jam/jelly is called a marmalade, which is made from citrus fruit. It’s a little more complex of a recipe, but it makes great gifts. Learn how to make orange marmalade here.

Finally, if you really want to get into it, you can also try freeze drying fruit at home too!

Happy canning,
Sharon
