I LOVE strawberries! \u00a0So while the paint is drying from the latest wall I’m painting (in the living room behind the TV), I’ll share pictures from our strawberry picking trip last Friday. \u00a0Like last year, we headed out to Akers of Strawberries in Baker, Florida. \u00a0You can compare this year’s trip with last year’s!<\/a><\/p>\n

Each boy had one box they could use. I helped fill both boxes.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

These berries were HUGE this year. That's my hand holding that monster berry!<\/p><\/div>\n

This is what we ended up with -- about 18 lbs.<\/p><\/div>\n

So far I made a pie with about a pint and a half of the berries, and I used about 2 quarts for a batch of jam. I didn’t take any pictures of the canning of the jam, since I shared all about it last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, however, I had a boil-over accident and I ended up not boiling the berry mixture long enough — I had to reboil and then re-process the jars again to get it right.<\/p>\n

But here’s that picture of the pie (again) \ud83d\ude42 This was for an Easter pot luck party at a neighbor’s house.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this strawberry pie didn't set very well either. It's was more like a pile of strawberries in a cooked crust. Oh well. The berries were still delicious!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
