Berries, berries, everywhere

Everything's coming up berries around here.
Last week we snagged 18 pounds of olallieberries at the nearby you-pick farm.
After four batches of jam;


one batch of olallieberry syrup;

one (ill-received) berries-in-the-ice cube experiment

(note to self: family members do not like being surprised by unfamiliar floating objects in their evening water glasses);

one batch of berry shortcake (that in my tizzy over the ice cube failure, I forgot to photograph);

several berry smoothies;

one batch of berry ice;

two batches of fruit leather;

half a batch of cute little berry tartlets (a Rachael Ray recipe made on the back of muffin tins);

I can now say . . . Operation Berries: complete.

Except, of course, for all of this we still have to eat . . .
