Strawberries!

Strawberry season is here! I picked up two pints at the farmers market on Saturday, one to eat and one to freeze for later. To freeze strawberries, wash and hull, then put them whole into a freezer bag. If they're not too crowded, they won't clump together too much. Or you can tray freeze them for 30 minutes or so first, then transfer to a bag.

I also saw that Upinngil Farm in Gill is open for u-pick strawberries. We are planning to go this coming weekend. (Note that Upinngil also has a farm stand with fruits, vegetables, etc. They also sell raw milk at the farm, so I'll probably pick some up to make some more cheese.)
