No flavour and sadly not a lot of flavour in most strawberries we buy these days, but the English ones do taste good and so long as the tortoise/birds don't get to them before me, the ones I have in the garden!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14170492581566652759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-3191588035665734982013-05-10T12:08:57.495+00:002013-05-10T12:08:57.495+00:00Hi Bryce,

I used to have a catering business--advertising by word of mouth only and usually small catered dinners for 6-10. Occasionally I did larger groups of up to 65. <br /><br />I would use frozen berries to make jam but I don't care for the texture of any frozen and thawed berries eaten. <br /><br />I look forward to hearing what you think about this treat after you try it. <br />Cheers, <br />JaqMrs. Jaqueline Biggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248541763708771727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-48796684819119337602013-05-09T02:22:42.145+00:002013-05-09T02:22:42.145+00:00Stawberries, eh?

So our normal picking season for our strawberries is usually the mid-June<br />time, not this year! More likely late June and into July which may well also compete with raspberries. <br /><br />I prefer fresh picked strawberries,<br />and usually purchase two flats a year. A flat of strawberries consists of six, one quart containers. Raspberries on the other hand are also sold in<br />flats, nine one pint containers.<br />And as with the strawberries I purchase at least two flats. Strawberries are washed, hulled, cut in two and placed on trays to be frozen. Once frozen, the strawberries are then placed in freezer bags and placed in my upright freezer. Raspberries are sorted as soon as possible after picking (usually by me), checked for duds and then placed either in plastic containers or freezer bags.<br />Rspberries are often mush after being removed from the freezer so <br />most of them are made into jam.<br /><br />Mid-winter frozen and thawed strawberries with vanilla ice cream<br />is wonderful. Also make my own very tart strawberry and raspberry <br />jams which are given as gifts.<br /><br />Your new to me recipe shall be an<br />experiment in delicious treats.<br /><br />Was this a recipe from Oregon or one of British origin???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
