Like jewels, shining in the sun
Jun. 8th, 2008 11:26 amWent to the U-pick farm this morning before it got too sweltering. Not only were the berries ripe and in good condition, they were gorgeous, and the picking was easy. In a matter of 15 minutes, we picked about 5 pounds of strawberries.
It didn't seem like that much at the time, but when I got home and started to process them- holy heck! I have about 1 pound chopped up with other fruits in two large containers of fruit salad. About another half pound is washed, chopped, and in the freezer, to be pulled out for fruit smoothies (or daiquiris) later today.
The rest are unwashed, lying in containers in my fridge, waiting for me to figure out what to do with them. I'm not big on canning, preserves, and the like, so I need to make up my mind quickly about what to do with them! I may do some baking and/or pawn fresh strawberries off on co-workers.
If they're still good next weekend, I may go again, and I may do U-pick peas next weekend if they're ready as well.
Loving this abundance!
