Knowing what type of plant a local grower has the most success with in taste and productivity gives me an indication of what type of plant I would like to have in my own garden. I made the mistake of leaving the strawberries on the counter overnight. In the morning, I found that about half of the strawberries have gone bad. We quickly went through them and salvaged what we could. Freezing smashed berries in quart size freezer bags. We have enjoyed pulling out the frozen berries and making freezer jam as needed. My preferred pectin is Sure Jell (in powdered form like Jell-0) enclosed with simple instructions.
