It's strawberry season! I LOVE strawberry season! This week, however, strawberries are at the lowest price I have EVER seen in my life! 4 lbs for $3.48 (at Safeway, for those of you here in the valley who hadn't heard). That's 88 cents a pound! I'm in heaven!We bought 12 lbs yesterday to freeze for shakes. Of course, we can't help eating a few (or a lot) and having it with every meal. Strawberries are great in cold and hot cereal, on dutch baby pancakes, and just to eat. Or, as we did last night, they're incredible dipped in chocolate! I've made way too many chocolate covered strawberries this season...and yet I'm making more tomorrow!
With our frozen strawberries, we'll make shakes, popsicles, and sorbet. I'm also tempted to try making thick fruit leather again. I love this time of year!

thanks for telling me, I'm going back for more later this afternoon! it's jam for us over here!
What are dutch baby pancakes? Recipe? And yes, we just stocked up on jam. I like using the MCP pectin recipe. So good!
Cheri, I found your blog through my sis's. It's so fun to read about what everyone is doing and I love strawberries too. I should go get some, or a lot! I love strawberry shortcake, and frozen straeberries on a peanut butter sandwich are great. I know sounds weird, but way better than jelly!

They were 3lbs for $1 at Superstition Farmer's Market on Saturday. I bought 9lbs. Hulled them and put them in a pan on the stove. I couldn't decide between jam and fruit leather. I didn't puree it. I forgot about it. I fell asleep early. Woke up in the morning and they were all moldy. :( SO tragic. Good thing it's STILL strawberry season.
