After all these years in Texas, I am still not used to being able to get fresh local strawberries so early.
I didn't know that the berries were ripe, but wanted to go to Froberg's Farm to check out the produce. Much to my surprise, there were berries and berry pickers everywhere!
I am happy to have someone else pick the berries for me. It's enough for me to know they came from the field behind where I am buying them. I saved my efforts for transforming the berries in to freezer jam. It has always been one of my favorites! I have fond memories of coming home from school to fresh baked bread and having a slice with homemade strawberry jelly.
I made three batches Sunday afternoon and will make 3 or 4 more. We won't be able to fit anything else in the freezers, but we will have enough jelly to last us until next year!
