Strawberry Season
Today is the last day of my little vacation. It has been such a busy week spent mostly going to bridal showers and breakfasts, rehearsals and dinners, and participating in a wedding. I really just needed a day to myself, to be able to putz and not be on someone elses schedule. This required a drive up to The Berry Farmer outside of Baraboo to pick strawberries.
It was so busy. And hot. But I managed to pick two heaping boxes full in under an hour.
So I spent the rest of the afternoon making freezer jam
and shortcake. I froze three cookie sheets full of whole berries and still have most of a box left. I might make a strawberry pie tomorrow and maybe more jam.
And I'll be certain to save some fresh ones for this little girl.
