In South Carolina strawberry season is peaking. I like to take advantage of this by taking a trip out to our local U-Pick farm. Not only do I support local farmers and do my part for the environment, as local produce has less of a carbon footprint, I also get to enjoy some of the best tasting produce I’ve ever laid my eyes on.

Coming soon: strawberry recipes!
I love strawberries. I have them in my garden. They should be ripe for picking in a few weeks.
Oooo, you’ve GOT to include some EASY preserves recipe! I love fresh strawberry preserves, but it’s such a pain in the rump to make that I don’t bother…I’m really terrified of biting off more than I can chew w/preserves. I’m afraid I’ll ROYALLY mess it up!
We took our son strawberry picking when he was only 3 years old. He freaked when the strawberry juice leaked on his little toes! Now that he’s 15 yrs old my husband and I never tire of telling that story.
I would love read your post on canning so I’ve bookmarked your blog. Oh, I found you thru The Moms Blog.
