As our strawberries go from flower to fruit, we wait. We watch them grow and form their shape. When they are perfectly unripe, they will be picked and submerged in some green olive brine we have on hand. Since strawberries achieve unripeness at their own speed, this preservation process is a bit slow and takes patience. Happily, we are getting closer every day. Hopefully, we will have enough to fill a mason jar soon.
