Six Strawberry Delights

Sunday, June 10, 2018


Earlier this spring, I ruthlessly clipped the runners on our tangle of strawberry plants and they're rewarding me by producing like never before! There are actually enough for us to enjoy a few perfect berries in spite of the chipmunks taking a heartbreaking, single bite out of 80% of them. And they are amazing - delicately sweet and tart.

Right now is the time to enjoy them and here are six recipes you might like.

1. Pair fresh strawberries with a vanilla panna cotta - their sweet, tartness is a wonderful companion to the creaminess.


2. Make a strawberry rhubarb pie- if you've never tried it before, the combination of strawberries and tart rhubarb is surprisingly wonderful. And lots of butter and sugar don't hurt.


3. Muddle some berries with lemon juice, fresh mint and sugar to make a refreshing strawberry mint lemonade.


4. Add some other berries, apple or invasive Japanese knotweed to make a delicious strawberry crisp.


5. Make the summertime classic, strawberry shortcake.


6. Make your own jam and enjoy it all year long.
