Strawberry Fields










The time has arrived for the strawberries to come into season. Our village has a big strawberry patch that I've already visited 3 times. The first time Dallin and I picked a huge bucket which we made fruit salad and just ate them. The second trip was yesterday where I picked another large bucket. I made 15 jars/containers of freezer jam. It turned out yummy! I wish I had access to the low sugar pectin but unfortunately I took what I could get. Today, we stopped in and picked another bucket which we'll eat and freeze for smoothies. They measure in kilo's so it was about7 kilos or about 16 pounds for 12 dollars. It's such a deal, plus they are just beautiful strawberries. Wish you all were here with us to enjoy the feast!

Those are huge beautiful strawberries. I am sure your jam is way better than any that I have made because the strawberries were fresh, just picked. Way to go!!!
