I'm also putting up some Balsamic Strawberry Jam today. I picked up the berries from Three Springs Fruit Farm of Wenksville, Pennsylvania at the Kennilworth Farmers Market (Tuesdays from 4-8 pm). The recipe will be up as soon as I make sure it's a good one! In the mean time, here is the prep procedure using one of my favorite kitchen hand tools - the Shark.

Quick, easy, minimum fruit loss, about $2.95. Great for coring tomatoes, de-seeding pears and a host of other food prep items. Processing four pounds of small, delicate strawberries took me less than 15 minutes.
