Picking Tips & Tricks

Fun Ideas With Your Berries

• Make strawberry shortcake – nothing says summer like this classic dessert! Just whip up a batch of your favorite biscuit recipe and top it with freshly whipped cream and sliced strawberries. Yum!
• Blend up a delicious smoothie – grab your blender and add some milk, yogurt, ice cubes and plenty of fresh strawberries for an energizing treat.
• Bake up some strawberry muffins – mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs and butter then fold in chopped strawberries for a delicious breakfast treat.
• Whip up a fresh salad – toss together spinach leaves, feta cheese crumbles and halved strawberries for an nutritious lunch option.
• Create strawberry jam – cook down some smashed berries with pectin and sugar until thickened then pour into jars for a sweet spread perfect on toast or scones.
• Freeze extra berries – if you have too many ripe berries on hand just rinse them off then place them on a tray in the freezer until frozen solid—perfect for adding to smoothies or baking projects later on!
