From last year, but one of my favorite things I've ever written for this site: Strawberry Fields Forever, a look at my family's strawberry growing tradition. I haven't made it there yet this year so I've been forced to eat local berries. And I have to say the berries at the Greenmarket here in New York pale in comparison to my grandfather's.

That's one of my favorite posts of yours as well.

We picked fresh berries last weekend and made a "fresh" strawberry jam--it's an Alice Waters recipe that's not canned and theoretically only lasts a couple of months in the fridge. In reality, it will be gone by weekend. We also made a strawberry sorbet that's so good it doesn't make sense. It's hard to beat strawberries straight from the field.
