The good old days!!

I loved this past week.  I enjoyed making some of my favorite summery treats.  Which then brings back the memories of the good old days.  The long summer days of playing at my best friends house, and stealing eating all their home made fruit leather.  We would eat so much of it her mom started to lock the door to the food storage room, but we all found a way to get back in and keep eating the good stuff.  I miss those days.  Anyway on to other things.  My mom, and I ...plus the kiddo's woke up around 6 the other day, and headed over to the stake farm to get some apricots.  We got our far share, then headed home to make our apricot leather.  I love that down here, leather consists of putting it outside to cook, instead of the hot stove.  So I also choose to make me so Strawberry leather, while I was making our strawberry jam, that the girls love to help with.  They could do it all by themselves it so easy.  We even bought the liquid pectin this year, so we just had to stir it in (no cooking on the stove needed) Yes!!!  We have already been through 2 jars of jam, and well the leather gets eat'in just like in the good old days...I just need to hide it from myself.
