strawberry picking

Friday we went strawberry picking. The weather looked like it wasn't going to cooperate - looked like rain - but when we got out to the strawberry fields the sun started poking out of the clouds. It was a perfect day, not to hot not too cold. We picked two flats...although that doesn't include all the strawberries Andrew ate while the rest of us were picking.





From this many strawberries we got....

...this much freezer jam and two gallon sized bags filled with whole frozen berries for later use. Plus we had strawberry shortcakes for Father's Day. So yummy. I love strawberries.

I think you might have too much for your freezer. Please send residual to Salt Lake City.

We plan on being offered strawberry jam on homemade bread when we visit in the fall.
