Baking fresh fruit around your house.

You daon´t have to stay near the oven all the time, so heat is no problem. But what I do, when I use the oven, is to take the most advantage of it and plan ahead. I have old cookie boxes (the old tin ones) and I wash them to hold the cookies). I cut up stale bread in dices to make croutons an then place them in plastic bags (they are best if first you dip them with a bit of olive oil and oregano, not too much). Ans just incase you don´t know, you can make awesome dishes by adding fruit to the regular baked thing. I use apples, plums, berries to put over chicken, turkey and pork. Then you don´t have to use as much salt and they are juicier to serve with rice or potatoes.

There is nothing wrong to bake in this heat, if you like to eat bake fruit pie or bread. For me, i prefer to have fresh fruit without baking them in the oven, no matter it is hot or cold in the morning or afternoon.

I enjoy baking late night, as its a cooler time of the day. Baking saves me money and my family can eat healthy foods. I do a lot of baking when I'm not working.

We have some Summer heats of over 30º C in my country, but it is the time of the berries. I´d love to learn your blackberry pie bars recipe. I make jam with the blackberries, but I´d love to have some sort of cookies for the grandchildren when they visit. How long do they keep inside a tin?
