The Story of a Flat of Strawberries

Just over 9 pounds of Strawberries were picked Wednesday of last week. I visited this little family run farm for the last of their Hoods.

Many, many berries went into the freezer. These will become smoothies and crisps in the depth of winter.

Some went into a batch of Strawberry Rhubarb jam to put up in the larder

An egg slicer was used to slice the berries for the jam... serious time saver!

The little flipped jar in the back did not make it into the water bath... it was enjoyed over sourdough pancakes Sunday morning

And of course there were a few nights of berries and cream topped with lemon verbena... what more could a girl ask for!
