Finally Strawberry Season!

I'm so excited it's finally strawberry season here. Or at least I was very excited at the beginning. I am beginning to get strawberry saturated. I feel like I've accomplished a lot this year in the strawberry department though. I froze 1 flat of strawberries (which I have done the last couple of years). I also made strawberry-oatmeal bread and muffins, which are always popular at our house, along with one strawberry pie. My new accomplishment was strawberry jam. A few years ago I made a small batch of strawberry jam, and I wasn't too pleased with how it turned out. This year I got my grandma's strawberry jam recipe from my Aunt Nancy, and it turned out really well. It is freezer jam, so it was relatively easy, and I made 24 jars of jam! I still have about half a flat of strawberries left, and I'm planning on trying out Kristen's strawberry bread recipe, and then freezing the rest.
