Our friends were going on vacation and needed someone to pick their strawberries, so they wouldn't waste. I volunteered and they were so kind to allow us =) Yesterday morning my mother, the boys and I headed to pick them!
I have to admit that I wasn't expecting to pick very many. I thought there would be just a couple of gallon, so I took an ice cream bucket because this is how they measure a gallon. I took the container in this picture to transfer into...
Every now and then somebody would hold up a "Big Juicy Red Ripe Strawberry" to show off and then eat it! Then there was an ooh and awww about how good it was =)
While we picked, the barn kitty purred and rubbed up against our legs.
Finally, we worked until we were hot and tired and we finished up!
(I remembered that I had this tote in the back of my vehicle!)
Can you believe those strawberries?
I probably could have sold some of the berries, but didn't know who to sell them to. So, I decided that since my family loves Strawberrry Freezer Jam so much that we would just make a bunch =)
We had a wonderful time in the Strawberries and look forward to enjoying our jam! Hope you enjoyed hearing about it! I love hearing from my readers!
Have a great day!

Nothing better than homemade strawberry jam - can't wait until they're available in my area!
I love it! We love strawberries too! I have never made freezer jam, (Or anything canned, frozen etc) BTW, we need to set a date and go to the zoo this summer. I am off on Fridays. :)
So much fun!! Only Sarah would have such a neat container in her car :)
This jelly looks wonderful! You'll be appreciating your hard work come winter time when you are slathering that over a hot biscuit! I've never made the freezer jelly, but one year we made tomato jelly. It has strawberries in it, along with the tomatoes. As skeptical as I was, it was tasty =) Have a blessed summer!
