No this isn't about Sir Paul (I didn't get to see him in Halifax but I heard he was awesome). This is about my strawberry picking adventure. I wish I had brought my camera with me. Some pics of the field would have been fun. My friend and our girls found a U-pick farm and had to drive waaay up into the woods. Good thing she had a truck because I would not get my car up there! It was the end of the season so the pickins were slim but I still managed to get about 8lbs of strawberries.
Here's what I did with them.
Mmmm looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks delicious. 8 pounds sure go a long way!
ReplyDeleteHomemade strawberry jam really is the best. Everytime we go to my husband's grandma's house, I pester her for a jar. And those cupcakes--mouthwatering!!
ReplyDeleteI love summer and the harvest. No strawberries for me, but yours look delicious. And those cupcakes look heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed - I bet those cupcakes are delicious!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job with the jam! I just went strawberry picking recently and we made jar after jar of jam... the freezer is STUFFED. What a fun way to spend a weekend!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I had seen Sir Paul... I love strawberries. We have been enjoying shortcake. Soon we will be moving on to blueberries, though, and that will mean blueberry pie! Yum. :) Actually, blueberry jam too. I think I am a blueberry person. lol
ReplyDeleteI SO have to get that cupcake book!!! Those look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJodie and Kathy- They were!
ReplyDeleteNik- Yes, I wanted to freeze some but there wasn't much left.
Trish- Good thing your husband's grandma makes jam!
Booklogged- I'm loving all the fresh stuff.
Kim L- I made the cooked kind this time around.
Kailana- I love blueberry pie!
Joanna- It's a great book.
I love strawberries!
ReplyDeleteThe strawberries and raspberries are really good this year!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how badly do I want one of those cupcakes right now?
ReplyDeleteWow. Those cupcakes look so delicious! We have a You-pick farm near where I live (20 minutes tops) but somehow I've never managed to visit it. Craziness.
ReplyDeleteYummm! I would pluck one of those cupcakes off the screen if I could.
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes look really, REALLY good...
