Ahhh, the beginning of June! Schools out, and the pickin is grand! Strawberry pickin that is! I remember back in my younger days that when school left out, we had a strawberry pickin day with mom. As long as it wasn’t hot, I didn’t mind it, but if my upper lip started to sweat and my shirt was stickin to me, I wanted to tell those little red bites of heaven where to stick it. I loved eattin’ them though, and pickin was worth it with everything my momma made out of these simple quarts of strawberries. Guys, it was tough for me to just pick a few of my favorites for you! I’m gonna give you my families old fashion strawberry shortcake that I grew up on that is so simple you won’t believe it. I just had a lady at church come up and say to me that she used my Shortcake recipe for a bunch of extra strawberries left that she didn’t know what to do with, and enjoy it so much. The ingredients are everything that should be handy right in your kitchen.

I then put a spin on Strawberry Shortcake by adding a Kabob twist to it! Oh man do I love me some Kabobs!! The things you can put on a stick to eat. Then, last but not least, my favorite beyond any other strawberry recipe out there. Homemade Strawberry Jelly! Another delicious favorite I grew up on! Loving it on my PB and J, toast in the mornin’, and momma’s homemade biscuits. My cousin, Lindsay Clark, has been a big fan of strawberry jelly too since our momma’s are sisters and we all grew up on this stuff. I’ve given her a few each year of my jellies, but this year she wants me to show her how to make it, and we are gonna go pick together. Nothin like pickin, and an afternoon in the kitchen with your soul sister. My favorite pickin spot is Green Barn Berry Farm in Muncy, and Berried Treasure in Linden. Two great spots that are sure to have wonderful berries for you and your family. Enjoy and good pickin!
