RE: Fruits & Veggies Monday: Strawberry Picking!!
lovely to see this, looks like you had a fantastic day out, nothing better than picking your own, fresh, local, good quality.
I also freeze mine too because the batch I buy isnt this supermarket crap, so they are very ripe and fresh (no chemicals or packaging used to preserve them) and can turn quite quickly. i noticed when i eat. a frozen one the strawberry flavor can be even more intense!
Yes--they do start wilting quite quickly, but it makes it that much sweeter to savor those few blissful days of fresh ones! I was tempted to pick another bucket, but it does take a bit of time to work through them all. I didn't want any to go to waste!
