@hopeful33250 I think I will try that with grapes. I wonder if that would work well with cherries too.

@contentandwell It probably would. I have purchased frozen sweet cherries in the freezer section of grocery stores and use them in a blender to make a smoothie. I've never tried eating them, though.

My husband has thrown out pounds of cherries because after being frozen they get "mushy". I suggested that we could use them in a way other than eating out of hand, but too late.

@hopeful33250 I am definitely going to try freezing some cherries, it would be a good treat on warm nights.

On a similar topic, when we are going for our ride to our place in Maine, or on any other longish drives, I always try to bring along grapes and cubes of cheese for snacks. They make no mess, are healthy, and even hydrating. That's far better than having to stop somewhere for a snack along the way, although I do like to make the stop a couple of times a summer at the Stonewall Kitchen store/cafe. I love picking up some of their products, and they have great luncheon things like lobster salad. I'm thinking that Stonewall Kitchen is sold nationally now, but perhaps some of you have never heard of it if not.

@contentandwell That brand is not familiar to me but it sounds wonderful! Teresa

@2011panc Oh no!!!! They would have been so good in smoothies.

@hopeful33250 I just googled and they are national and international now. They make great jams, jellies, sauces, salad dressings, etc. If you see them in a store near you, they are good. I love their maple chipotle grill sauce, and some of their salad dressings, and their organic strawberry vanilla jam.

@parus I know! I was so upset! He did it twice! He loves jelly, I could have made jelly out of them. They could be used on pancakes like strawberries. They can be used in desserts or over ice cream. So many uses. In his defense, he has no experience thinking outside the box. His profession was scientific and he worked in a cubbyhole.

@parus @ihatediabetes @rosemarya @2011panc I found a great recipe from Prevention magazine for a fruit crumble that uses frozen berries and preaches. It is so good! I'll see if I can find it and post it.

@2011panc What a cute comment about cubby-hole thinking! Thanks for the smile for the day. Teresa
