I’ve been wanting to pick strawberries for years but the season somehow always rushed passed before I had a chance. This year I finally made it happen and went picking not once, but twice!
So the freezer is quite packed with frozen strawberries. I crushed a few to make a batch of jam but decided to freeze those as well so I can get to the jam making on a rainy day. Little R has consumed a large number of berries (truly, they must be a wonderful thing to discover) and the chicks have had their share of the overripe and hulls.
Now I’m waiting for other u-picks to open as the season for blueberries, raspberries, peaches and apples arrives! Hope you get a chance to pick your own too!
