Wisdom From Grandma

Grandma loved to use blueberries, blackberries, and rasberries when she cooked, so it is no surprise that she grew and froze her own fresh fruit. However, Grandma had a simple secret that made it easy for her to use small quantities of frozen fruit. She washed the berries and placed them on a baking sheet in the freezer. Once they were frozen, she popped them off the sheet and put them in a freezer bag. Since the berries were already frozen, they did not stick together and Grandma could simply take a few out of the bag whenever she needed them.

Grandma would sometimes add too much salt to a dish. Since she didn’t believe in throwing out good food, she would skin and cut up two or three potatoes and add them to the pot. The potatoes would absorb the excess salt and save the meal.

Grandma’s salt shakers never clogged up, because she put rice in them. The next time you re-fill your salt shaker, add a few grains of rice to the container. The rice will absorb excess moisture and keep your salt nice and dry.
