jars of strawberry jam (front) and pureed berries for freezing |
it is the height of berry season, and long summer days, so of course, it is time to start thinking about winter, or at least think about preserving some of the summer bounty for cold days to come.

so i went berry picking! and made strawberry jam & blended down some berries to freeze and use throughout the winter.
the bushes were loaded with berries |
