Berry Picking


We finally made it out to the You-Pick. Barely in time. So ripe a pint I left on the counter fermented within 2 days. 



@ 20lb. We paid $1.25/lb.


Strawberry jam. Don't believe them when they tell you you need 4 cups of sugar in 6 cups of strawberries. Yikes. I started with 1 cup and that was almost too much. I also added a box of non-sugar pectin.

And people just can't stop eating it either. It's going fast. 

The next day I boiled down some strawberries without pectin or sugar and I'm freezing that for later. 

Strawberries were frozen individually and then put in small containers.
