I was in the kitchen making freezer jam when inspiration crept up on me. The counter was crowded with canning jars, strawberry hulls, and a bowl of jewel-colored pulp extracted by force from four quarts of organic strawberries fresh-picked in the Michigan countryside. It was those juicy, sticky, crushed berries that did me in.

I’ve been smitten by strawberries. Previously I’ve confessed that blueberries are my favorite berry, but yesterday the strawberries had me. Of all fruits, fresh picked berries are perhaps the farthest away in taste from their bland, store bought counterparts. Eat a sun-kissed, rain-plumped, hand-picked strawberry and tell me if I’m not right.

The effect of my inspiration was to swirl liquid strawberries into creamy milk. A spot of honey made it into a sweet treat fit for tea parties and elegant brunches

…or to accompany jam-making.
