Nothing says Spring like putting up strawberry jam.

Seeing the line of 20 deep there for strawberries sent me on a mission to the land of Goshen...and i wanted some iced coffee and a pecan loaf. So, I bought one quart of berries from one vendor and a small pint from another. The differences were astounding! The ones from the quart were small, dark, juicy and sweet...really good strawberry flavor...the ones from the pint were very tart. Bad Annie forgot which batch was from where b/c I kept getting paged about transplants. Needless to say...I'm savoring the sweet ones and Simon made a strawberry shake out of the tart ones. so, i was in Edwardsville Sat morning after my stop at Clayton Farmer’s Market.
