If you have never picked your own strawberries you should go do it right now!!!!! There is no comparison between grocery store strawberries and the locally grown berries. The local berries actually taste like strawberries and the ruby red color is just beautiful. So, what do you do with all those strawberries? You make jam, of course :)
If you've never tried it, making jam is really very simple. Click here for a wonderful site about canning with great pictures and recipes. This 1st batch was just Strawberry Jam, but today I'll be making Triple Berry Jam with strawberries, blackberries and raspberries.
If you don't want to make jam, you could wash and freeze the berries too. Theres nothing better than eating sun-ripened strawberries in the dead of winter. I thawed out my berries from last year in February and it tasted just like summer.
So, go get picking and enjoy the summer :)
