U - Pick Strawberries

The U-Pick fruit season has begun in Michigan. U-pick strawberries are first, and the cherries and blueberries follow. Peaches and apples are ready in August and continue into the fall. We picked a nice box of strawberries (u-pick is priced at $1.25 a pound) and canned one batch of strawberry jam. We froze a few bags for later to top ice cream or angel food cake later in the summer. Yum!


And an extra picture of Grandpa enjoying a book on Father's Day weekend. We thought this picture was funny.

Becky,
I made strawberry jam last week, also. It was my first time doing that and I made 12 half-pints. It must be good, we've finished one jar already. Jenny
