Use it up...That's probably my favorite one and also the one I am continually honing. Today, in the midst of autumn, when apple trees begin to yield their lovely fruits, I came across these recipes in the current issue of Southern Living. I love that they are 'use it up' recipes...

Thank you for sharing your recipes.. sounds good.
I too.. try to use it all..
I just made peach preserves, I took the peach skins and an extra peach I had and boiled them to make juice.. I then made 4 half pint jars of peach jelly. It is delicious..
Enjoying your blog..
Warren's favorite jelly is apple peel jelly. He asks for it over any other type of jam/jelly.
In the last post just was that new- to- you frugal information you found? I am curious now!!!! Thanks for the new recipes! I have a bag of apple peels in the freezer waiting for more so I can make jelly. And that picture! I love the colors and the print itself...good find! :-) So perfect for your post too.
