Yesterday was a lot of fun! I have been in an experimental cooking mood lately (I LOVE to cook) and so I went with my family to pick strawberries from a berry farm to make freezer jam. This is when I am so glad to be back in Washington for the summer--berry picking is a summer tradition. It was so fun picking the berries--as we were picking Richard turned to me and said "honey, I want to have berry fields when we have a house"! It was so much fun. Of course, there was a lot of sampling! Our plan was to go home to make strawberry freezer jam (which only needs about 5 pounds of strawberries) and we all had so much fun we came home with...13 pounds. :) My sisters and I made like 12 jars of freezer jam and I tried a bread recipe from one of my friends here. It was so much fun cooking with them!
My wonderful mom and my lil sis. It was cute because she put all the berries into a little basket!
yummy...
