We went and picked strawberries at Boxx Berry Farm. It is the end of the strawberry season. This is the first time we picked these. We ended up picking about 15lbs. I had no intention of picking that many. I wanted to pick enough for 1 batch of freezer jam and enough to go over some vanilla ice cream. **Note to self - picking strawberries goes incredibly fast. it was a good thing that most of this was ending up as jam. Children needed a little more instruction in picking not so ripe strawberries. I ended up slicing and flash freezing two cookie sheets full of strawberries. I cut some up for over ice cream that night. I made two batches of Jam. I made 2 batches of Jam gone bad now know as strawberry sauce for ice cream **Note to self -don't multi task while making jam. You can't Mc Gyver jam. IT won't set up. I ended up giving a bowl of strawberries to Mrs Respiratory Therapist and family because I just couldn't cut up another strawberry.***********BIG NOTE TO SELF - don't' do this the day you are packing for a big trip.
