Day 117: Made Jelly From Old Strawberries
My grandmother had some strawberries that were no longer “fresh” according to her standards. I boiled them down with some sugar and water to make a jelly like substance.
I plan on using this for my next Peanut Butter Plan day, which I plan on doing regularly.
Other things I could’ve done with the strawberries were:
- Adding them to my compost
- Drop them off at the community compost
- Make fruit leather with them
-
According to the NYC Composting Program, “The average New York City household discards two pounds of organic waste each day—adding up to more than one million tons of organic material a year.”
What was your simple green act for the day?
