The family that works 'jams' together, gets Jam.
Got the berries on Saturday.
The best deal I know, other than to grow them yourself. But strawberries are tricky to grow. The conditions have to be 'just right'. Warm, dry, moist.
If you go to the main Pumpkin City stand between 5:30 and 5:45pm, all the vendors return the unsold fruit. They go through the berries that are too ripe or not pretty enough to sell the next day and either throw them away or give them to a shelter. They will sell them for jamming berries if you show up. A flat is regularly $40. I dickered and got them for $15.
We got them washed and stemmed on Saturday and made 42 pints of jam today.
We are good for another year.
Toast, rolls and biscuits, PB&J's, crepes, ice cream......yum!
