The Bountiful Basket Adventures Continue!

You may have heard about our mango shakes, our attempts at plantain chips, our trial and error with kale chips, or the spaghetti squash noodles with spaghetti sauce we've had in the last few weeks. 

These are just a few of our favorite experiments in our efforts to use up the odds and ends of our bountiful basket. 

Here is a photo recap of our (my) latest experiments.


It looks a bit like cornbread muffins with homemade strawberry jam. Those of you who aren't colorblind are probably thinking that the color of the jar is way wrong to be strawberries. You're right!


At a closer look, this is actually a squash muffin topped with butter and homemade plum-lime-ginger jam! 
We didn't know you could do that either. We had a ton of plums that were going bad and a few limes we didn't have much use for. We just happened to find a recipe that used both. The ginger adds an interesting flavor. Lisa says it smells like a Christmas candle. It's an interesting blend but these muffins and jam go great together. We inhaled a dozen while the second batch was still in the oven.

Here are links to the recipes if you want to give them a try. 


I didn't have 10 cups of plums, so I improvised. Your results may be completely different from ours. 

Enjoy!

Love,
The Hebdons
