It's that time of year again! Strawberry season! I've had a strawberry garden since the first year we built our house out here (5 years). I have nutured these babies every year and slowly built up from getting a handfull of berries to a WHOLE BOWL! My neighbor across the road had a beautiful strawberry garden, and every spring he would invite us over to pick all we wanted. The first year we lived here, everyday for a week I came home from work to find a 3 gallon bucket of strawberries on my porch! So I called his sweet wife and asked her, "what in the world do I do with all these!" She said in her sweet, soft voice, "Make jelly, honey!" SO, that was the first year for my jelly. I get requests every year for it now!!! My step-daughter took some home with her to her "other" brother and she said, "Dakota thinks you should sell this jelly in the store!"
Well, this year, I have enough berries at one time to make more. I had to "borrow" some from my mother-in-laws garden but not many.
I got all my stuff going early this morning. I washed and cut up the berries, mashed them a little for that sweet juice to start flowing. UMMMM!!
Cooking away!! The only part I hate is the "stirring constantly." I did take a break for a photo!!!
Time for a bath, sweet babies!!!!
Doesn't get much prettier than that!! I get so excited to hear their tops start popping! (That means the seal took!!!) Yeah!!
Ok, is there any question what the Pierce's are having for breakfast tomorrow!!! Biscuits!!!!!
