berry delish

some things just aren't meant to last. strawberry season being one of them. sad but true. arianna has come up completely empty handed the last few days. so i think it's official... till next year. but one of the great things of condensing the harvest into just a few weeks is you can never eat all you pick so we get to freeze our extras....

step 1: eat as many as you can

step 2: wash thoroughly... and try not to freak out over the bugs you find.

step 3: put on paper towels, shake the water off gently and remove stems

step 4: when they are totally dry freeze them on a cookie sheet,then transfer to freezer bags.

step 5: feel all urban homestead when you bust open your organic frozen strawberries for smoothies in the morning. :)

p.s. you might recognize that this is in fact my smug urban homesteader face... except for the fact that ari cut it off. we will just all have to imagine... isn't that a shame. ;)
