Of strawberry jam

After picking, Ladybug just had to read Jamberry by Bruce Degen. It will now be filed in my cookbooks after this occasion... awaiting blueberries.

We've been in the View since.... 1993~~ And I've just discovered a true jewel in our back yard!! With a short drive we joined friends picking strawberries at McPeaks.

Oh my!! They are the BEST strawberries I have ever had!!! Unbelievable!!

In a mere hour on a lovely spring morning we each picked a basket. The picking was so very easy!! I had more berries than I had planned. The berries were ripe and I truly go the pick of the crop!!! I'm ready to go back this Wednesday! Join us!

I've canned strawberry jam & strawberry syrup! Yum!! I've even made seedless jam & syrup because I so love my Hubbie!! I'm ready to do it all over again!!! And I also want to have a strawberry salad, strawberry short cake, and I have a new all strawberry cookbook!!

Oh! How do make seedless strawberries?! Cut off the outside layer of the strawberry! Beware, this is high labor. Then I blended these beautiful peels to a liquid and strained out the seed for a true strawberry concentrate. I added that back into the jam & syrup!

Jamberry!!! Strawberry!! by Grace! ss

They look so yummy! And so does everything you made with them! I might join you guys on Wednesday, if you don't mind. No kiddos to help pick, but it sounds fun! :-)

Boy I wish I could join you today too! That looks great and since I can't eat them off the vine I would be a great strawberry picker! :)
