Fall Fruit, What To do With It?

 

I get a box of organic vegetables and fruit delivered every Tuesday from Abundant Harvest Organics.  I noticed the fall fruit has been coming in quickly by the masses, with apples, pears, persimmons and not enough time to know what to do with them.  Any suggestions out there?

Tuesdays With Dorie

The reason I started baking was because of Dorie Greenspan.  Her books have inspired someone to start the blog Tuesdays with Dorie, an open group, which means anyone can bake along. They bake with two books – Baking with Julia and Baking Chez Moi.  Every month two recipes from each book are chosen, made, and posted on their blogs from each person in the group.  I am up for the challenge so I have joined the group.  Look out for my BWD post and among other things that might inspire me as well.  Bake on!
