It's Strawberry Picking Time
Monday May 19, 2008
Get out the canning jars, freezer bags and dehydrators – strawberry season has arrived!
After a weekend of berry picking and processing, I'm ready for another trip to the strawberry patch. Why not find a u-pick farm in your area, and get in on the action? With prices well below what you'll pay at the grocery store ($1.25 a pound here locally), those berries stained hands are certainly worth it.

That is a really great idea that I would have never considered–thanks!
To freeze–after washing, put them on cookie tray lined with wax paper to individually freeze each without them sticking together. Then transfer to a gallon freezer bag adn you can pull out as many as needed. We cut the frozen berries up and add to oatmeal all winter long. taste great & adds extra fiber
There are no u pick farms in Las Vegas and the berries are too expensive for thos of us on fixed incomes.
