We are getting addicted to canning things around here.  When I saw these Meyer lemons at Greene Grape Provisions I decided to work them into a jam with some of our abundance of apples.  I love planning food around what looks good at the market.  We used this recipe from the Food in Jars blog and added 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and the seeds from one vanilla bean to the cooking apples.  (I like to keep the split bean in there too).  The resulting jam is very honey/lemon flavored.  It is a bit odd on a PB&J sandwich, but I just put some on toast with blue cheese and avocado and it was delicious.  It would be great with cheese and crackers or stirred into a hot drink as the weather gets chilly.

It is entirely too hot around here to eat a warm breakfast.  (Or even one that is  room-temperature,  in my opinion).  We came up with these as an alternative.  They include some of our breakfast favorites, which are even better frozen.  Put your favorite smoothie in the freezer!  To make this version you need:

* 2 Very Ripe Bananas

* 1 Cup Milk

* 4 Large Spoonfuls of Yogurt

* 2 Large Spoonfuls of Natural Peanut Butter

* 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

* 1 Teaspoon Honey (Optional, depending on the sweetness of your yogurt).

* Blender

* Popsicle Molds

1. Blend together until smooth.

2. Pour into ice pop molds and freeze for 1-2 hours.

*Makes enough for six standard popsicle molds*
