Berry Dessert So Good You Will Be Tempted To Lick Your Plate.

Summertime and the pickin’ is easy!

I remember the summer day when we lived in Fergus Falls, MN and my friend Ginger Vennerstrom asked me if I wanted to make fresh from the field strawberry jam.

I had no idea where the best U-Pick patches were, and I had never made jam before, but I decided to give it a whirl and so early one morning, while the dew was still clinging to the green leafy foliage I loaded our kids up in our old Suburban, and we picked up Ginger and her boys and off we went.

The fresh earthy smell greeted us as soon as we stepped onto the edge of the large field. We carried buckets for our luscious treasures, and soon we had picked enough to make jam that would last throughout the year. Everyone’s fingers were stained a red color. Juice, of berries that had been bitten into, were dripped down the front of our shirts.

“No wonder Ginger had told us to wear old clothes,” I thought as I brushed off the dirt from my knees.

Berry picking and jam making were an incredible experience that we carried on for several years until we moved. Ginger..this recipe is for you!
