Sweet Strawberries? Not so much!
Every year, we relish our first opportunity to go strawberry picking. The girls absolutely love eating picking for hours while dreaming of strawberry shortcake, muffins, fresh strawberries on their cereal, etc. So this year we were a little disappointed with eleven pounds of berries that were just so-so. Water logged? Yes! We had a very wet Spring which only seemed to warrent a shorter growing season but we didn't anticipate berries that sort of lacked flavor and were a little soggy.

Still, we had a fun time picking. And, I managed to make some smoothies with the loot and a yummy strawberry jam/sauce. Not nearly as good as fresh (for us) but, it will have to do this year, since I'm hearing that the picking just isn't that great this year. Onto cherries, raspberries and blueberries!
