Farm to Freezer in 24 Hours

It took me most of the morning but what a sense of accomplishment! YAY! Yes, it's highly recommended that you rinse them before freezing. I always do.

One qt. hulled and washed

 One qt. sliced

 Eight qts. packed, sealed and frozen

They will be stacked in a box for easy access and more room in the freezer.

Suggestion for a Strawberry Daiquiri!

This is a frosty blender-full of strawberry-citrus slush. You may enjoy this with or without the rum. You may also be a brave soul and change the ingredients and sizes of them. I did. Delicious any way it's made!

In a blender, combine ice, sugar and strawberries. Pour in lime juice, lemon juice, rum and lemon-lime soda. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses. 

6 C ice

1/2 C white sugar

4 ounces frozen strawberries

1/8 C lime juice

1/2 C lemon juice

3/4 C rum

1/4 C lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
