Strawberry Hell...


I was going to post about the lovely five days we had over at the cabin.
But yesterday a large truck come to the farm...


..delivering 1200 pounds of strawberries.


What does 1200 pounds of strawberries look like?
A freakin' hellish nightmare come true, that's what!
Plus side to this..hmm...I'm thinking...
oh, the Strawberry Black Pepper Jam will be ready next week!

1200 pounds of anything sounds a bit hellish. Even if it is strawberries. The jam sounds amazing!

Angela said...

OMG! Just look at it as one berry at a time. Does that make it easier? lol

Yummy looking berries! Are they local? I know in the Vancouver area we've had a pretty good strawberry season this year. We were just in Richmond and bought some yummy local ones :) Have fun jamming!

Could be worse. You could be making Missing Goat Pate.

WOW! I'm overwhelmed and I am sitting down with a cup of tea. Farming is very hard work. And making product from scratch is REALLY hard work. But oh so worth it....
