Kiwi pineapple jam sounds good. I do a Kiwi Orange Marmalade and Kiwi Jam. Both much better tasting than anything I ever got in New Zealand. Kiwis actually keep very well if refrigerated. They keep almost as long as apples. Well, maybe not that long, but several months. The chickens like them.
Tom when I make chocolate ganache I use a high cacao chocolat mixed with milk chocolate. Turns out pretty good. Your deserts sound divine. I'll bet they were well-received.
Sue, I hope you got a trencher to plant all that wire.. Hope it works keeping the gophers out. One of my neighbors did that, but his garden area is much smaller than mine. There's apparently a plastic barrier that I heard about that's supposed to last longer than wire. I'm a little skeptical about the above ground portion lasting that long.. But I'm considering it at least on the hill side of the garden. I wish our tractor had a backhoe
