What I’ve been up to.

• I really wish canning didn’t take so long.  I am embarrassed to admit how much of three different days I spent accomplishing this much.
• It’s a lot easier to can in your friend’s real kitchen rather than in our apartment’s miniature kitchen.
• Sometimes you have to can in your own miniature apartment kitchen because it’s kind of awkward to can until midnight in your friend’s kitchen.
• I must stop making fruit based desserts.  But just in case you’re interested, here’s the recipe for the peach dumplings.  Adapted from the Pioneer Woman. 

 

Peach Dumplings

 

• 3 peaches
• 2 cans (8 Oz. Cans) Crescent Rolls
• 2 sticks Butter
• 1-1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• Cinnamon, To Taste
• 1 can (12 Oz.) Sprite

Peel and pit peaches. Cut each apple into 6 slices each. Roll each peach slice in a crescent roll. Place in a 9 x 13  pan.

Melt butter, then add sugar and barely stir. Add vanilla, stir, and pour entire mixture over apples. Pour Sprite around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve with ice cream, and spoon some of the sweet sauces from the pan over the top.

WARNING: Prepare this dish at your own risk. It is beyond imaginable.
