Strawberry Season

Thanks to Mom needing to blow through a balance with a local farmer, I found myself with 16 quarts of strawberries to do something with.

Although Patrick and Joe did well just eating them straight, I did decide to mix it up a bit. So after two strawberry pies (not bad for a first try), a quart of sorbet (awesome), a quart of gelatto (wasn't that great), and some freezer jam, I ended up with several frozen berries for later in the year.

Still don't understand why people buy the glaze for a strawberry pie at the grocery store.
