Update: I made a small cobbler today. Why don't we hear about strawberry cobbler?

7. We always had fresh berries with biscuits

My Mom didn't like the biscuits sweetened, but we put sugar on the fresh strawberries. And whipped cream on top. My husband's family liked the biscuits sweetened, and the berries, too. My mother-in-law would pour milk over hers, the way her family served it. A couple of her kids joked with her about it, but she wouldn't give it up. For awhile, I really liked using the little sponge cups and putting fresh berries over it, and whipped cream.

So many good memories. So much of the food we got was seasonal. Shipping produce from California and Florida was growing up the same time I was. Most of the time, we ate the fruit we got, washed and with our hands. Summertime with peaches, plums, watermelon. And we were always sent outside to eat the fruit! lol

We had wild blackberries at the old place, too. I made cobblers from them, but everyone liked the black raspberry cobbler better. I made blackberry jam every year, so good.
