Day 117: Made Jelly From Old Strawberries

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?
