When I type today's post title into a search engine, it comes up with some restaurants I had never heard of. But we don't need a restaurant to get good, healthy foods and juices out here on the prairie. In the summer, that is.
Dad's vegetable gardens are such a blessing!
For one thing, we have lots of kale in four varieties. That, along with our celery, our parsley, and apples from the store (too early for our own yet) makes some powerful and healthful juice!
Then there's the cherries.
One of our tart cherry trees is rotting, so half of it cracked and tipped over one night. Thankfully, the cherries were just ready to be picked!
Out comes Dad's little tractor and forklift to haul the tree to a shady spot near the house.
Out came the buckets...
... and bowls...
... and pans...
... and the steam-juicer.
The result: Potently tart cherry juice concentrate. Add a little water (and sugar for some people) and enjoy the anti-inflammatory benefits of our homegrown juice! Even in the winter.
