What would you use these for after they are canned?

[Yummys_Girl]

Many people use them as a snack. You can also use them as topping for ice cream or cheese cake and in baked goods. I never really thought about it it but I would think we could get creative and come up with many things to use them for.Would be fun to experiement with.

Hopefully I will get a chance to can some before its too late this season.
