Summer has finally arrived when we can go and pick sweet juicy strawberries. Last week I picked Josh up from school and headed out to our favorite picking farm and introduced Natasha and
Zubair and kids to some local farm life (they don't get to do these things in India).
There we were headed out on the tractor to the fields.
Sophia so sweetly tasting one of many berries that day
Brenna and I busy picking - we ended up with about 14 quarts in a really short time
Rayhaan showing off his treasures
Matthew and Joshua full of berry juice
Brenna and Sophia talking about something to each other...how cure
All finished
We went back home and the next day I started making jam. I tried 2 different kinds this year and they all have been
delish! Yesterday Megan and I took the kids again with Nathan and then I showed Megan how to make jam/jelly and I think yesterdays batches were even better. Then Natasha came over and showed us how to make strawberry sorbet--it is so so good. And today I made strawberry breads and still have berries left over...I can hear the fields calling though because there are more berries to be picked so I think there is at least one more day of picking in store for us.

You guys really need the book "jamberry." It's so nice you can pick berries without sweltering heat. I wish I could taste all the yumminess in your kitchen.
It is Yummy and the berries out in the field just smelled wonderful!
This was sooo much fun! Can't wait to do it this week again.
