It's finally strawberry season in my neck of the woods. I've actually been picking strawberries from my own tiny patch for the last several weeks, but the "U-pick" berry farms barely opened up this past week (we really have had a late spring and summer). So last night, I went berry picking. I picked more than I ate (always a good thing) and the strawberries are so sweet! I could taste the sunshine and the rain in each berry. The berries are so fragrant and would put a store bought Driscoll berry to shame.
This morning, I also went berry picking again and brought a friend. I was so happy to be able to share the experience with her and I do hope she had a wonderful time. After our little foray into the berry patch, we spent the rest of the day making jam and a post about it will come soon in the near future. I'm so glad that I made it a priority this year to go to the berry farm.
I hope you get a chance to go berry picking, wherever you are. Please let me know if you're making jam, freezing your fruit, or have chosen to eat it all fresh.
