Strawberry season is at its peak from April to June. Select bright, plump berries that have fresh green caps. Generally the smaller the berry, the better the flavor. Strawberries shouldn't be washed until ready to use. Try them sliced into a salad, on top of breakfast cereal or pancakes, dusted with confectioners' sugar or dipped in chocolate. However you serve them, strawberries are packed with vitamin C, so make sure to enjoy them all season long!
Ripe, red strawberries add the crowning touch to our Very Berry Trifle. This beautiful dessert is traditionally served in a large clear glass bowl but you can make stunning individual desserts by layering it into pretty glass goblets, too!
Nothing says summer like Strawberry Shortcake! Try adding other berries for a new twist — a trio of blueberries, strawberries and raspberries makes for a patriotic dessert that looks as good as it tastes!
Rhubarb and strawberries are natural companions — taste for yourself with our Sumptuous Strawberry Rhubarb Pie! The sweetness of strawberries against the tartness of rhubarb is a classic summertime treat! Rhubarbs peak season is April to June, when it's stalks can reach 2-feet. Choose crisp, brightly colored stalks that have fresh looking leaves. Rhubarb works so well in pies and preserves that it's also know as "pie plant" but because it's so intensely tart, it needs to be sweetened.
For an easy dessert in a snap, try our Quick Strawberry Napoleons. Baked Wonton wrappers get a sweet sprinkling of sugar before being layered between juicy red strawberries and whipped cream. Quick, easy and delicious — strawberries make the perfect summer dessert!
