Strawberries And Strawberry Dreams

Last week, we went strawberry picking in Cleveland, Alabama at Jerry Marsh’s u-pick farm:

It was an overcast day but pretty because we got to see the rain coming in:

We picked the beautiful red ones and loved seeing the strawberry babies:

I came home and made jam (although this is a pic of some I’ve made before — all these links go to recipes of strawberry dishes I’ve made):

…but had fantasies of making this strawberry fraisier again — that was maybe the best dessert I’ve ever made:

…and strawberry pretzel salad (grew up on this):

…strawberry butter:

…buttermilk strawberry popsicles:

…and strawberry shortcake:
