  1. Celebration of the #Strawberry

    "In the #Haudenosaunee culture, the strawberry is considered a gift from the Creator and the first berry of the season holds a special place for the #Oneida. The earliest of the sweet red berries are celebrated with a special ceremony in mid-June and the fruit holds the distinction of being the Oneida name for June – Awʌ́hihte’ (a-WUH-heat).

    "Oneidas use strawberries in many ways and often flavor just about all foods and drinks with them come early summer. Some are eaten immediately; some are mashed and mixed with corn to make #StrawberryBread and some are mashed and dried in strips (sometimes called '#StrawberryLeather') to be used later in cooking or to eat alone.

    "The juice, or '#StrawberryWater,' is known to promote health and well-being and is a feature of various ceremonies. #MedicinalTeas also can be made from the leaves and roots of the plant, helping to heal such ailments as diarrhea and inflamed, achy joints.

  2. #Haudenosaunee #Strawberry Drink Recipe

    It's finally strawberry season in San Diego, and what better to celebrate than with a fresh pitcher of traditional, Haudenosaunee strawberry drink?

    Posted by Lauren J. Mapp, April 10, 2016

    "#Strawberries are an important part of the Haudenosaunee food culture, so much so that they are even mentioned in our creation story. According to one version, the Earth was created when a woman fell from the Sky World and landed on a turtle's back. Many water animals tried to dive to find mud from under the sea, but the only one to survive was a muskrat. He brought mud up from deep below the surface of the water and put it on the turtle's back, helping to create Turtle Island as we know it today.

    "When the #SkyWoman died and her body was buried, various plants sprouted from the earth. The #ThreeSisters of corn, beans and squash came from her head; tobacco from her heart; and various medicines and strawberries from her feet.

    "Strawberries are known to have many health benefits: they are good sources of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B-6 and folate; they're rich in antioxidants; and they are a natural blood thinner.

    "Today, strawberries remain an integral part of our culture, and are celebrated each year through singing, dancing and storytelling in June during the #StrawberryFestival. The following recipe for Haudenosaunee strawberry drink uses sugar instead of the more traditional maple sap (which is pretty much impossible to find in Southern California), but the flavor of this juice makes for another way to enjoy this delightful fruit.

    Ingredients:
    🍓2 pints of fresh strawberries
    🍓2 TBS sugar
    🍓Fresh, filtered Water (enough to fill pitcher)

    Recipe:
    1. Remove leaves from strawberries, then slice them lengthwise.
    2. Save 6 strawberries-worth of slices and mash remaining strawberries with a fork, muddler or potato masher.
    3. Mix sugar with mashed strawberries, and then add the mixture and sliced strawberries to a 1 gallon pitcher.
    4. Fill the remainder of the pitcher with fresh water and enjoy. Can be served chilled or over ice.

    Note: You can omit the sugar if you desire a less sweet or healthier juice. You can also substitute agave syrup, maple sap (not syrup) or honey for the sugar - just add a little at a time until it is the desired level of sweetness."

  5. It's not summer without a jam making session.

    Farm had mis-shaped strawberries on sale for 2€/kg, so I got 4kg, sugar and pectine and that's 19 jars of low sugar jam for the pantry.

    With thanks to @jan for helping chopping the berries and handling the sterilising of jars.

  6. Picked the orange Flamme tomato today and a few orange cherry. Runner beans are blooming and not looking pale now that it's warmed up. Some of the new earliglow strawberries have blossoms, and there were some bees in the garden.

    Found a pair of squash bugs on an acorn squash plant too.

  7. Apparently it is #NationalStrawberryDay today.
    This seems like the wrong time of year (and I wonder if #turnips might not be more appropriate at the moment), but I'll jump on the bandwagon with a #video of Strawberries and Cream (or Ginnie Pug) from Playford's Dancing Master, 1670.
