It is Strawberry season in Wisconsin! I was so excited they ripened in time to take our cousins when they visited two weeks ago. We had a lovely time. Sine there was so many of us we got a bit carried away and ended up picking 28 quarts!
I could of stayed all day in the strawberry patch!
Needless to say, we have gotten our fill of strawberries. (Enough to give me hives several times! Ha!) Including strawberry shortcake, strawberries and cream, plenty of plain strawberries and strawberry muffins! I used my favorite muffin recipe, omitting the cinnamon and adding chopped strawberries and vanilla extract. Strawberries and vanilla go so well together!
We also made 28 pints of strawberry jam!
What is your favorite way to eat Strawberries? Have you ever picked your own?
Oh that was the best day! I am glad you guys were able to get them squared away.
ReplyDeleteIt was the best day! I think we ended up eating about 6 quarts fresh before you left. So that helped lower the count! :)
