Here I go again...saving garbage. It may becoming painfully clear that I love to find creative uses for trash and peach baskets are no exception.
I recently bought 6 baskets of ripe peaches for jam and slices to can and what remained besides endless sticky counters were these large baskets. Lucky for me zuchinni season was in full swing so I have been baking my little heart out and making numerous batches of my favourite butterscotch zucchini bread.
On Saturday my best friend was moving into their new house, so I thought I would scoot over and drop off one of the loaves fresh from the oven. Knowing the pan would be too hot to carry, I simply slipped it in one of the baskets for easy toting. The pan fit perfectly and was cooled just enough to eat once it arrived. Needless to say I saved the rest of these little gems in a bin I have designated for unique containers I use to house simple homemade edible gifts for various occasions
I paired the warm loaf with a bottle of peach/raspberry freezer jam. I am hoping they can at least stop and enjoy some goodies while sorting through the mountains of boxes that I am sure are strewn about the house.
Reminds me of how much I hate moving.
