The only thing ripe, so far, is strawberries. Today Dan picked a large batch of them.
Then once they were all cleaned off, I divided them into small batches in a quart measuring cup, added a quarter cup of sugar and mashed them up with a potato masher. Then I put the mixture into a plastic sandwich bag, removed the extra air, and put the sandwich bags into a gallon freezer bag.
Later today I’ll make some individual shortcakes or vanilla cupcakes. I haven’t decided which to make yet. 🙂 I’ll freeze those as well. So whenever we want some strawberries shortcake for dessert it will be so easy to accomplish. All winter long!
I’ll just do this all summer as things become ripe.
