Cherry Freezer Jam
I love making freezer jams because they are so easy and taste so good! This is the recipe from Ball.
2 1/4 lbs. Cherries (makes 3 cups chopped)
2 T. lemon juice (only with sweet cherries)
5 cups sugar
3/4 water
1 pouch Ball Fruit Jell Pectin
Wash, remove stems, pit, and finely chop cherries. (Do not puree fruit because it may prevent gel) Combine prepared fruit, lemon juice, and sugar. Mix thoroughly and let stand 10 minutes. Combine water and pectin pouch in a small sauce pan. Boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Add cooked pectin to fruit mixture and stir for 3 minutes. Ladle jam into 8 oz. jelly jars leaving 1/2 inch head apace. Screw caps on fingertip tight and let jam stand until set, but no longer than 24 hours. Place in freezer or keep in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Enjoy! Makes 8 jars

Kohlrabi
This is one of the fun vegetables since it looks like a space alien. It has a flavor of a cross between a turnip and cabbage. It is eaten raw or cooked and is great in salads, sauces, and sautéed. You can use it in place of any recipe that calls for turnips and give it a little different flavor. Be sure to try this flavorful vegetable!
Here are some links to different recipes for Kohlrabi:

Micro Greens
Micro greens are a little larger than sprouts and come in 9 different vegetables such as radish, cabbage, kale, arugula, cress and many more.
They are great sprinkled in a salad, on a sandwich, or in an omelet! It is like having the flavors of that vegetable all concentrated in the little sprout.
I offer a sampler pack of all 9 varieties for you to discover your favorite!
