Over Thanksgiving our son Buck and his wife Jen were home. Â They had a busy week and came in apologizing that they hadn’t brought anything….
They actually had. Â They brought me a goodie box along with a couple bottles of wine. Â For me…that was perfect.
The goodie box was filled with canned goods. Â They are busy all summer canning. Â The pies I made in the picture were made with their canned apple pie filling….YUM!!
We also tried the pepper jelly…also YUM!! Â They can WAY more than I do…and they are good at it!
They brought all the goodies in a wooden box he made. Â When visiting the Amish community near Hazelton last summer he bought some veggies in a peck box. Â He took the dimensions of the box and made some wooden boxed complete with the stenciling..one side says 1 US Peck. Â The other side says KRAMER.
The box is perfect. Â 8 large canning jars fit in it perfectly….It does say KRAMER on the box and I am a Kramer (hint-hint)….He did leave it here but alas I am sure that was an oversight on his part but isn’t the box neat??
I sure think it is.
He does an great job with woodworking and Jen’s a great helping with the stenciling.
I took the goodies to the basement put them on the shelf and filled the box with empty jars so he can take them back next time he’s home.
I sure love having resourceful kids…now days most people run to Walmart to just get a tote. Â Not my boy, he runs to the garage and creates something neat..and useful.
The Peck box is cool…..
Very nice. They come bearing food and drink.
The box is great.
You did good Jo Kramer … with all your kids. Makes any momma’s heart happy! I love the box and I bet the pie was delicious!!!
Love the box. I’d love to buy one for my hubby. (hint, hint)
The box is awesome——-wow—the pie looks like the best ever…
You are reaping the benefits of children well-raised, loving and resourceful. Any mother’s dream! Your pies look so delicious, I can almost taste them! What lovely crust! Any chance your kids would share the canned apple pie recipe with us? : )
