Winter strawberries
Strawberries are my
favorite fruit and fruit is my favorite food group. So you'd think I'd
be tempted by out-of-season berries at the grocery store.
The trouble is, homegrown
strawberries are so good I now turn up my nose at even the offerings
from the local berry farm. Instead, we gorge on delicious red fruits for
one month out of the year and we dry a little bit of leather for winter treats.
Since writing that linked-to post, we upgraded to an Excalibur dehydrator
to make it more feasible to dry food in our wet climate. But,
otherwise, our method of storing summer sunlight is very much the same.

I just got some organic strawberries today, and with the help of my daughters, we cut them up and froze them. My girls are leaving on a 3 week jaunt cross country for a western adventure. My oldest loves strawberries, and she uses our Excalibur dehydrator (love that thing) for making strawberry roll-ups. I suggested that to her today, so that they could take the roll-ups on their trip. She just wasn't feeling up to it with allergy season in high gear around our parts, but she was all about it. Great snack!
