Organic cuticle treatment made with locally grown cherries
Step one in the Kingsolver plan and the reason why I discovered, while raising my hand in a university meeting yesterday, that my nails are still stained such a dark purple I may have to sit on them for the rest of the week...
I froze my fingers on the blueberries I preserved in freezer bags. Does that count? Or maybe the grape Kool-aid that I made for dinner and its stain left on my fingers is more my speed. Oh, maybe I will can something for real.
I gasped out loud at that picture. Is that cherry preserves? That looks DIVINE! Cherries are so expensive in this neck of the woods, I don't have enough to do anything to them other than pop them in my mouth.
I'm about to take a trip to Michigan to pick blueberries and hope to take a similar snapshot...in blue. With blue fingertips. And blue lips, too. If this is what Kingsolver inspires us to, we're all richer (and healthier) for it!
We also went to a local apple orchard and picked what was in season (Jersey Mac and Pristine), as well as some veggies they were growing in a field for U-Pick customers. We bought a head of cabbage and some sweet corn.
I'm finding more and more local options. I don't know that they are organic, but they are inexpensive and local. And the kids are delighted to be harvesting it themselves.

Good job! If it weren't so expensive to mail, I'd trade you some peach jam for some cherries.
