Strawberry Picking

woo hoo! We LOVE strawberries! Who doesn't love strawberries. Let me tell you, it is even more fun to eat the strawberries when you picked them yourself at the strawberry patch right around the corner from your house! That's right, Barrhaven has it's own strawberry patch, gotta love that preserved agricultural Greenspace.

The strawberry season is probably very close to over, but these are from a few weeks ago. We spent about 40 minutes picking strawberries and got about 8 litres in that time. We might have gone a little overboard... We got home and looked at each other and our 8 quarts of strawberries and thought, "Wow, that's a lot of strawberries, what are going to do with all these strawberries???"

Well, we got cooking.

It worked out okay, more about the treats in the next post. We did end up using up virtually all of the strawberries, and have some frozen for future treats.

oh ya, did I mention, We Love Strawberries [and buying locally].
