Part 2 update for Christmas pies…
I’ve looked and spoke to many people about using their kitchen just so I can do some Christmas Baking.. I did find a nice place.. I would need to sign up a years lease.. which at this time I am moving, it would be a long drive.
Quite a few other places wanted to charge me $95.00/ hour – It would have been too much money.. the balance was not many of the church kitchens were certified. It just proves it’s not time yet to relaunch.. or even just bake a few to give away.
‘Tis the Season, it’s a great way to celebrate Giant fruits..
In the meantime, may you have a joyous holiday season! Love to hear what your fav berries are and share you recipe with me.
