Ah, summer. Does it get prettier than this?
I picked these up over the weekend and just could not decide what to do with them. Strawberry scones? Strawberry shortcake? What about strawberry shortcake cookies?
Decisions, decisions.
In the end, I cut them up like this:
And I ate them.
Every single one.
Just like that.
So now I clearly need to go buy more strawberries, and maybe actually make something with them this time.
What will you be doing with strawberries this summer?
I usually do what you just did. But, strawberry daiquiris and ice cream sound good!
I love this post! You’ve already got my #1 fav strawberry recipe up there (shortcake)!
I pop them in an ice cream maker with French vanilla yogurt, it makes the dreamiest frozen yogurt!
Strawberry season for us is past – yummy South Florida berries arrive in January
But I enjoyed milkshakes, fresh berries and berries with whipped cream. YUM!
I would make Strawberry cupcakes or Strawberry Shortcake. YUM!!
I made strawberry jam, for the first time, with directions from http://www.pickyourown.org.
An angel food cake with strawberries and cool whip sounds great too!
I found a strawberry salsa recipe that’s amazing! Who woulda thought strawberries in salsa would be good…but they are, trust me.
Of course I don’t rmr which blog I found the recipe on, but here it is:
Strawberry Salsa
1 quart strawberries, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper(with seeds)
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.
Makes 2 cups
This never would have occurred to me, but YUM! Thanks!! ~OPK
I’m with you—I can’t get enough of these strawberries. (and your pictures are just gorgeous!) I did strawberry/basil margaritas & a strawberry salad last week on my blog, and made a strawberry/champagne granita this weekend…like a grownup snow cone for Memorial day! I also love popovers with strawberry butter. really, can one go wrong with fresh summer strawberries?
What won’t I make with strawberries this summer? Definitely a strawberry tart filled with pastry cream!
I’m going to make strawberry cupcakes with white chocolate ganache this weekend

Strawberry rhubarb pie! I made some this weekend with my best friend in Indiana, and it was out of this world.
I have been obsessed with strawberries lately too – eating them plain, putting them on tarts, making strawberry shortcakes…

Strawberry jam! We eat lots of strawberry jam, so i’ll be making over 25 pints of strawberry jam and freezing several gallonzip-lock bags of washed berries. For fresh strawberries..nothing beats berries and yogurt.
Ah I had exactly the same dilemma… one kilo of strawberries and no idea what to do with them, so I did exactly the same thing. It’s good when they’re fresh!
Strawberry jello poke cake for sure
Strawberry mousse is divine!!! And not too hard to make, there are different recipes all over the web.
