(Unbelievable as it may be to those in Texas, but) It is now strawberry season in Michigan! I just got an email this week from the local U-Pick, so Andrew and I headed out this morning and picked about 8 lbs of strawberries. Andrew feel asleep on the way over there and when he woke up, he was right in the middle of strawberry fields! He was pretty happy the first 45 minutes or so just sitting and munching on strawberries. His shirt is completely stained red from the juice. Then, he was done, and we finished up and bought some supplies for freezer jam. I am sure the people at the store really thought I was a negligent mom because Andrew was SO filthy, but there was no way I was going to go home and clean up and then go back out to buy pectin. I haven't made freezer jam for a few years and last time I made it it didn't set up, so wish me luck!!!

Yum. Those look so good! I've been wanting to make freezer jam too, but am waiting for a trip to the farmer's market. Strawberry jam is one of my favorite foods in the whole world.
Oh yummy! I'm getting really excited to pick up your produce....:)
yes it is that time of year. We have been enjoying just eating the ones from Costco. I am going to try and prepare a patch for strawberries for next year. Did you see Jason and Angela's blog. They do the same thing as you. How fun to live where you can go pick them. yummmmmmmmmy
