I was at my local fruit shop last week when I stumbled upon a 3kg box of strawberries on the bargain trolley for $3.  I had no idea what I was going to do with 3kg of strawberries, but since I had been raised to absolutely positively grab any fruit being offered for free (or in this case next to free), I piffed the two tiny punnets I already had in my trolley and hauled in the giant box.  

When I got home I did the appropriate thing and rang my mum, informing her that I had 3kg of strawberries in my kitchen.  She asked if I was going to make jam to which I replied no (I have watched my mum make jam every season of my life and have never once felt the urge to give it a go).  I told her I'd eat as many as I could, then give the rest to someone who knew what to do with them.  She said she'd be there in 2 hours.

And sure enough, 2 hours later, I had my mum in my kitchen making strawberry jam.  And when I got back from the ballet run that night, this is the little stash of goodness that was waiting on my bench.  I know - I'm pretty lucky huh?
