Thursday, June 8, 2006 - Strawberries: I'm So Clueless |
I don't know if I've been hibernating or living on another planet, or what, but somehow I did not realize that the strawberries are now ripe and have been ripe for the past week!!! That means that if I want to do strawberry anything (jam 'em, freeze 'em, shortcake 'em) I have to get in gear now
before they're gone. I think I will probably just freeze a bunch for
popsicles, smoothies and such. I still have a number of jars of jam
left from last year that we never did finish. This is because the peach
jam turned out so good last year that whenever there was a choice
between peach jam and strawberry jam, we all picked peach.
My kids are having a blast with the wild strawberries that are
everywhere around here. I think they are possibly even tastier than the
full-grown regular variety. Too bad you have to pick forever to get
enough to do anything with. By the time you get them in the house
they're mostly (if not totally) gone anyway.
Strawberries: it's what's for breakfast.

I love strawberries - and yes, the wild ones ARE better!!! Some people actually are able to transplant them so they don't have to run all over looking for them.
Enjoy your strawberries - we hope to plant some next year! |

| I am convinced that wild strawberries are God's gift to us. Nothing beats them for flavor, sweetness, cooling-offness, and they can even beat heat stroke (or, so I believe based on one day of personal experience! lol ) |
