Strawberry Picking

I took my youngest to pick strawberries this morning. Yesterday when I suggested this activity he was not interested. So I had to do some cheerleading and prepping him for today's trip. I also think it helped to bring a snack to munch on when he got to the point where he asks "Can we go home now?"

I froze about half of the berries. First I rinsed and then carefully towel dried a handful at a time. I put them in a single layer on parchment paper on top of a pan and placed them in the freezer until firm (about 2 hours). Then I put them in freezer bags and labeled them.
