Very sad. We strictly ration ourselves to one quart of peaches a week, because a week without peaches is life without meaning.
You and my grandmother would get on well. I remember calling her last year and she told me she’d just finished canning 52 quarts of peaches - “A quart per week!”
She’s still a canning machine at the age of 84. Last November she gave me 2 bushels of Cortland apples, she knew my apple trees were nearly fruitless last year and she wanted me to be able to make applesauce for the kids.
2 bushels of apples make a lot of applesauce!
Homemade applesauce is the bomb. No comparison. Now I want some. All out over here.
I should start a thread on “stuff your grandma taught you”, because I had no idea that Cortland apples make the best applesauce, I just used whatever was growing on my trees. My grandma has learned a few things in her time and I’m trying to learn as much as I can, while I still can.
We make pear sauce out of the Asian pears on our tree. Beats applesauce hands down.
Yes, yes and yes!!
Have asked my friends and co-workers if they have ever heard of strawberry-banana jam, and 3 people have asked me to get the recipe!! (I am not a canner of jams, (or anything, truth to tell,) but I actually would pay the shipping on a jar of the strawberry banana, if you were serious! 
)
You anywhere near Chicago? I’ll make any reasonable drive 
Sorry, that was a little hyperbole. I do have enough to last another year or so but it’s good for at least that long.
As an apology I give you the very easy recipe that we used for the Strawberry Banana. We added 2x the banana requested but based on the taste it would be good with the recipe amounts as well.
Since you are in Portland, you can tide yourself over with a very local pickle shop - they have a booth at the Downtown Farmer’s Market.
