strawberry picking

Yesterday, I met my sister and two nieces and my mom for a morning of strawberry picking at Pine Tree Orchard in White Bear Lake, MN. We have been going here for years for the strawberries in the summer and the apples in the fall. The berries this year were amazing!

I picked about 20 pounds of strawberries and used some to can 24 jars of jam.

I also made some homemade strawberry ice cream and some amazing pound cake with strawberries.

I froze the rest of the berries to pull out later in the year
