berries!
Berry picking is an integral part of summer in the Northwest. We have been doing our fair share. We like to freeze them, and love to jam them! This summer, before our visitors arrived, we made 20 pints of strawberry jam, 20 pints of sylvan berry jam, 15 containers of sylvan berry freezer jam. Probably sufficient for a nice long winter, but we couldn't resist one more opportunity to go picking with our favorite berry team! Here are some cute pictures Crystal took of our adventure!
Max with his goods!
Molly getting to work. We told them if they didn't pick, they didn't eat lunch. It was very motivating.
And, we decided to feed them, because we ended up with 67 pounds of boysenberries and raspberries. Yum!
It wore this guy out!
And, after this, Crystal and I were also very worn out! The end result? 72 pints of jam!
Crystal, I think we should go for double or nothin' next summer!
