I surprised the family with a trip to the strawberry patch this morning. Aidan declared, "this is the best day of my life!" I'm thankful he can still be just as thrilled picking strawberries as he can be going to an amusement park.

Anyone have a good strawberry recipe? I've made two batches of sorbetto, freezer jam, and shortcake sauce. A pie is on the docket for tomorrow. But that still leaves me with about 7.5 pounds to use up.

Mmm! That reminds me of summers working on my friends strawberry u-pick in NW Wash. I like to make fruit leather with them. (Not that I ever do it usually, but it tastes so good!)

I need your recipe for sorbetto. I still have a bunch of strawberries left over also!

I have grandma D's frozen strawberry jam recipe

why not just freeze the whole berries until you decide what to do with them. Wish we still had u-pick fields close by. What use to be u=pick fields are now houses near us.

This makes me miss MA!!! =(

Every year I make a strawberry rhubarb pie that Weston loves.

You could make smoothies with them.

Oh and the other day I made a strawberry mock cheese cake thing that was in the Kraft magazine....it was SO good.
