Hello There,

Happy Sunday!  I hope you are having a relaxing weekend.  But if you are anything like me you tend to use the weekend to get caught up on things.  🙂

It’s strawberry time here.  I have a little patch of strawberries that gives me about a quarter a day from the last week of May to the end of June.  That is if I get out early to pick them before the local birds eat them.

They are yummy just eaten as is, straight from the garden.   We have had strawberry short cake a few times and this morning I made Fresh Strawberry Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins,  Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Any strawberries left get frozen immediately to be used later in jam etc.

This is how I freeze them.  I rinse them off with cool water.  I hull them (cut the tops off).  Then I let them dry on a kitchen towel for a few moments.  After they are dry I put them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and par freeze them for 1 hour.  Then into a freezer bag and off to the freezer they go for later use.  Super simple!

The tops that I have cut off when hulling them are given to the girls as a treat.  We don’t waste anything we grow.  🙂

They love them.
