The Fruits of My Labor



The "fruits" of my labor



I spent the entire day yesterday in the kitchen.  Our local high school marching band held a fundraiser and I purchased three flats of whole strawberries. I canned 16 half pints of strawberry jam, canned 8 half pints of strawberry syrup, canned 8 quart jars of concentrate for strawberry lemonade this summer and froze 8 quart baggies of strawberries.

We had strawberry shortcakes for dessert last night and I will be making strawberry muffins for breakfast this morning.  Then I am done with strawberries for a while!
