Toronto Photo Essay: Strawberry Jam Excursion
Photos and writing by guest contributor Arieh Singer.
Last weekend I went with my friend Hamutal to pick fresh organic strawberries at Applewood Farm Winery in Stouffville. Each 8-litre bucket was $15, and we each purchased three of them.
After we came home, it was time to learn how to make jam, and Hummy taught me all there was to know. The entire process took a few hours, but was filled with all kinds of interesting ways to use strawberries. Presently I have jam, frozen berries, strawberry-infused vodka, strawberry puree popsicles, and other goodies. It was a whole day of strawberry yumminess!

Thanks for the post Jerrold. I should note that we headed up to the Applewood Farm and Winery.
I did the same thing this weekend, but I didn't take anywhere near that many photos
Love those pics Arieh! And yes, those strawberries taste as good as they look. Those that didn't get bashed into jam ended up in a homemade strawberry shortcake for my birthday (thanks Iris and Lila).
Looking forward snaggle some of that jam Arieh & Hummy!
