Beating the cold!

I would think its safe to say everyone is over this winter. I was recently shopping and was excited to see Plant City, Florida strawberries in the produce section. I forgot it was strawberry season. Then I thought a strawberry pie would help beat these winter blues. I thought I would share some pictures and the recipe. My boys love it.

 

Start with a box of strawberries. Wash.

Combine:

 1 cup sugar

1 cup water

4 Tbsp. cornstarch

4 Tbsp. Raspberry jello

Bring to boil.



The original recipe called for Strawberry Jello we think it tastes better using Raspberry. This was discovered when Strawberry Jello was sold out.

While the mix is heating I cut my strawberries and layer until the graham cracker crust is full.

 The Jello mixture should be thick; it doesn't take long to thicken after it boils.

Let cool; then pour over strawberries. 

Chill the pie for a few hours until firm usually 4 hours.

 

Finished product topped with Cool Whip. Very yummy!

Starting again

I've been at this farmer's wife thing for over 5 years now. I'm going to give this blog another chance. Now with 2 kids I'm not sure I have more time but would like to share our farm life with you all. Keep checking for updates. It may be slow going to keep at this thing but I'm going to give it a shot. I will try to share some day to day activities, pictures and recipes that use pork and other good stuff about the farm. We are heading into the holiday season and still busy with harvest but I'll try to keep some updates posted. The picture below is what we've been doing the past two months...harvesting soybean and corn. Soybean are in the picture.

End of Summer fun

Picnic for lunch

Watching Grandpa David harvest in front of our house and Daddy stopped by to play.

Rolling over

C.C.R has learned to roll over from tummy to back quite well in the last week. Nap time is not so easy anymore when he can roll over.

He also got his first ride in the combine with his Grandpa David and Daddy.
