Strawberries, Strawberries!

This year has been a bad year for strawberries.First it was a late freeze, then cloudy cold weather, and lately rain.

While I might not have been the best year, they still were yummy! Lots of rinsing is required due to the repeated heavy rains.
Once they were rinsed, they were ready to turn into strawberry preserves. I picked 5 pounds and once I rinsed them I realized I was going to have to use them immediately.

From the time of picing to time of perserves was about 6 hours!
