Strawberry season!

Strawberry season!

Love, love, love this time of year when strawberries are in season! Strawberries, like most berries, are versatile for use all year round. My mouth waters thinking about jams, baked goods, fresh berries on cereal, frozen berries in smoothies, and it goes on and on. If you're thinking about taking the one-year local food challenge that Andreae proposed in her recent post, then berries are where it's at. Stock your freezer and your canning shelf with lots of berry-filled goodies and eating locally in mid-winter won't be a chore.
