Grains Plus Order

I have received an email that could potentially be a resource for you.

There is a company that does bulk orders of grains and food storage type items. The company is called Grains Plus. My intent is not to promote them as much as it is just to let you know that this is a potential resource for you. I recommend looking into it for yourself. Check out their website www.grainsplus.com. If you are interested in purchasing from them, they are doing a bulk order right now. Orders are due the 21st of April. I have the information and can forward it on if you are interested.

Thanks for the tip Dorris.

If anyone has ordered from them and would like to post a comment that would be great!

Canning Lemon or Orange Juice

Many people plant lemon or orange trees with the great notion of having fresh fruit. These happy thoughts quickly change once the tree has grown. Most fruit/citrus trees have such a great yield it can be very overwhelming to deal with. Many times we freeze as much as we can, and then make offers to all our friends and neighbors in attempts to rid ourselves of the excess.  We recently planted a lemon tree, and I actually am excited for the high yields. Admittedly I am not excited for the work that comes along with that. This year we only had 22 lemons. I weighed them and it came out to a total of 10 lbs.

We don’t have a lot of freezer space so freezing the lemon juice wasn’t my first choice. I looked online and came across a recipe on pickyouown.org for home canning lemon juice. After giving this recipe a try, I have decided to keep it on file.

It comes to 2 cups of lemon juice per pint. We use lemon juice to make lemonade. We will post the recipe we use soon.  Enjoy!
