Spice Pickled Strawberries

Memorial Day weekend, we took a road trip over to Huber’s Orchard and Winery to pick some strawberries. Our friend Jay went along. We had lunch at the restaurant where I had my favorite, chicken livers. When we finished eating it was already way hot, so we decided to purchase, rather than pick. J With 2lbs of strawberries tucked away in the back of the car, home we went. The hardest part of the day was keeping MJOL and Jay out of the berries on the way home! I wanted to try something new with my red jewels, so I settled on spiced pickled strawberries, canned with sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. I thought they turned out great. I suspect MJOL thought it was a waste of a good berry.
