u-pick strawberries

[greengirl19]

We went this morning and got 8 lbs. we usually get a lot more but the fields were pretty picked over from a busy weekend.

And since G's taken a nice long nap I've gotten:

2 sheets strawberry leather in the dehydrator
3 sheets sliced strawberries in the dehydrator
3 jars of strawberry jam (new recipe - sweetened with honey!) waiting to pop on the counter
1 bag of strawberry puree in the freezer, wasn't quite enough for another batch of jam.

We plan on going back in a couple weeks and doing some more dried slices, since I think that's what we'll eat the most of.

Awesome! You've been so productive! I can't wait until we can go to u-pick here! Beary Blessed has found an organic one. Yay!

okay sooo jealous that you can even pick strawberries already :shifty i have another few months to wait :(

but good job on getting through everything!! i always just pick off the stems and rinse em and freeze em in bags and then eventually get around to doing something with them :shifty but i do pick like 30lbs

man, that makes me wish my mom could find that old food dehydrator! (she said if she found it that she'd give it to me. no luck!)
that's awesome, you accomplished a lot today!

Wow, you are so productive!! That is awesome and amazing.

We picked a ton this year, and they all tasted like water. :( I threw them in the freezer for smoothies.

that's awesome. we have to wait another month or so and that depends on the rains actually stopping {It's rained for two solid weeks here} I did bookmark a local orchard/u-pick farm after reading your list though.
