Melon Quenchers

Tomorrow is July 4th..Independence Day.  A day for families, celebration, picnics, fireworks, and getting sunburned!

By now you have your picnic planned, your spot picked out at the park, or your backyard barbeque cleaned and ready.  After all that hard work you need a cool drink!  I found this variation of one I have been using for years at Better Homes and Garden magazine while waiting in the Doctors office.  The only item I never added was the yogurt, but I am willing to try it.  The pureed fruit blended with ice and sparkling water will make a refreshing summer drink. A spoonful of yogurt will add creaminess, while a skewer of fresh fruit makes a pretty garnish.

Cherry Strudel

Cherries are in season here in Michigan in June.  So what to do with all those wonderful tasty fruit?  This is a question I have to answer every year.  Cherries have to be eaten fast, in my opinion, or they get too soft.   So I do a lot of baking around then, making pies, strudels, cobblers and then place them in the freezer for later in the year when we get a taste for fresh cherries.

Using fresh cherries in your recipes is so much better than using canned.  If you can pick them yourself, that is the best.  You will not have the additives such as sugar with fresh fruit.
