We have a small strawberry patch in our garden and last night we found a bunch that were ripe but not enough to satisfy our taste for the fruit.

So we’re making time this week to go to a pick-your-own farm to get as much as we can eat and make our annual batch of strawberry jam.

Actually, we go to a bunch of the u-pick farms’ seasons – strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and apple – because we love the fresh fruit. There’s nothing like eating the stuff the day you pick it.

My mouth is watering already for more strawberries…
