Jon, my canning guru told me that buying frozen strawberries to use for jelly is an excellent choice, for two reasons. They are not the commercially huge tasteless berries picked to travel - these are a better flavored type picked riper and sent straight to the processing plant to be washed and frozen. And when you put them in the steam juicer (a fancy sort of double boiler with a large colander on top) then you get a lot of really nice juice because the fruit cells have burst in freezing. Save the solids from the colander to make some jam at the end.

Growing up in the Northwest one of the joys of walking in deep woods is finding wild berries, both strawberries and blackberries. The rule of the forest is to stop what you're doing and pick and eat them right then and there; you'll never find them again if you don't. The best fruit ever. Long thin vines across the forest floor, usually in places with dappled light or a few hours of sun at some point during the day.
