Strawberries are a delicious and nutritious fruit that can be enjoyed year-round. They’re so versatile and can be used to make sweet and savory recipes with ease.
They can be eaten raw, put in salads and smoothies, cooked into jams or desserts, and used as a topping or garnish on pastries. They have a unique and intense sweetness and are often paired with other fruits like kiwi, pineapple, or bananas. No matter the occasion, there’s a strawberry
Here are some of our favorite strawberry recipes to help you make the most of this popular berry.
A great dessert for spring and summer when strawberries are in season. You can substitute light coconut milk, but you won't get the same flavor and silky texture. Two hours of the prep time is chilling/setting time.
Another of our family favourites - this is a great year around dessert to have in your freezer. Lush and light, perfect for a summer dessert or after a holiday meal. An added bonus, it tastes as good as it looks!
Our local Farmer Market does a nice job of handing out recipes...this one sounds really delicious! You can keep any leftover Vinaigrette in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. Refrigerate leftover dressing for 1-2 weeks.
I have used a combination of strawberries, rhubarb and raspberries in this pie and it is wonderful. I guess any combination of berries of your choice would be just grand.
For a Romantic touch, bake these in heart shaped muffin tins.
This is an awesome cake! Place fresh strawberries on top of frosting for decoration if you like. I suggest to allow the strawberries (for the frosting) to drain for a few hours in a strainer after mashing. NO MORE than 3/4 cup or the frosting will be too runny
This is great for making vinaigrette or wathever else calls for strawberry vinegar. I make big batches of this at a time as it keeps for a very long time.
This sounds like a simple but delicious dessert.
This is the way my Mom used to make Strawberry shortcake, and I still do. Historically, strawberry shortcake was served when the wild strawberries ripened in the meadows. The shortcake was a rich biscuit dough baked in a round cake pan. This recipe was taken from Mrs. George Tredway's handwritten recipe book dated 1898 and is now a part of the historic collection in the museum at High River...
From Cooking Light magazine. Spanish for "fresh water", agua fresca is a refreshing, fruit-infused drink that is served throughout Mexico. Depending on the ripeness of the berries, adjust the amount of sugar for desired sweetness. Frozen strawberries would be fine in this. I like this with 2-3 times the water or seltzer water for a thinner drink. I also increase the sugar. This is great with...
These are good - the syrup does take a bit of time and work, but it can be made one week ahead and stored in the fridge. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (June 2007). Left over syrup can be used for just drizzling over ice cream or other things like pancakes and pound cake - a delicious treat all on its own.
Three ingredients and no ice cream machine! This is SOOOOO GOOD!!!! Don’t just limit yourself to strawberries try other fruits my favorites are strawberry and cherry. If your using frozen fruit thaw slightly just enough so as not to not break your machine, plan ahead this takes about 8 hours to freeze completely trust me you won’t be able to wait that long just keep a spoon in the freezer...
From The Biggest Loser Cookbook. This recipe serves one but it would be easy to increase the number of servings. Use an aged, good quality balsamic vinegar for the best results. The prep time does not include the 30 minute refrigeration time.
This will fit in a pint canning jar or a container with a lid.
This elegant looking fruit torte is one of the recipes that a family member brought back after a stay in Germany, where strawberry season sees these cakes in all the bakeries and cafes. Thanks to her grandmother we enjoy this marvellous dessert that never fails to please. In the off season I drain canned peaches and arrange the slices making for a impressive looking dessert when fresh...
Another very easy recipe and one I have used for years, this makes a wonderful spread on toast, waffles or just about anything, it makes a wonderful topping on stuffed crepes This method also works well using fresh blueberries or raspberries or a mixture of fruit, for a less sweeter taste use 1-1/2 cups sugar if you like a sweet jam the use 1-3/4 to 2 cups sugar. Store the preserves in the...
This was in the May 2012 Cooking Light, and it's yummy. Hard to believe it's only 267 calories per serving!
I tried this drink recipe as a test run for my upcoming get together, this recipe yields 2 servings I used 4 ounces of Cap Morgan's white rum, well we won't go any further...anyway I can tell you this is one of those OMG this is good drinks, and now is in my top 5 favorites
Sweetened strawberries with buttermilk shortcake scones. I use whole buttermilk for cooking and baking and it has a slightly thicker consistency than fat free buttermilk.
I found this recipe on the Nestle site and it was so quick and easy, that this is the only recipe I use now. I have found any good chocolate can be used but the Melts or chips are easier to melt, you can use either dark, white or milk chocolate depending on you taste. I also dip some of the strawberries in chopped nuts or sprinkles after dipping in chocolate for a great effect. Preparation time...
I'm sharing this Taste of Home recipe because I need it for my friend Sigga when she & Palli are our guests for dinner & Mahjong game nights. Sigga adores strawberries & has come to expect them to be prominent in most of our meal courses. That's a tough challenge if you want to keep your dining fare fresh & interesting w/o too many "repeats". The pic on this recipe looked mighty fresh &...
Here is a pleasing summer/spring salad.
A lovely cake to serve with coffee or tea or as a dessert. I came up with this recipe when I had a bit of coconut milk I wanted to use up. I played around with different coffee cake recipes and put this one together.
I found this delicious beverage recipe while participating at in a food tag game at another recipe site a while back. The recipe author is Nif and she writes "This yummy and easy drink hits the spot during strawberry season! Very easy to adjust if you like more or less lemony sourness. This is more on the sour side because that's what I like! I see no reason to avoid adding a splash of vodka...
This is always a hit when I make it! No one even knows it’s gluten free. If you have a sweet tooth it will definitely satisfy it. I love this with a cold glass of milk….
This is a lovely fresh salad I enjoy when the berries are in season. It is very easy to put together and tastes great!! I have at times used feta cheese instead of goat cheese and it is delicious that way also.
A great tasting salad we really enjoy. I mix my #recipe12266 with Hellman's mayonnaise and toss everything together. It is perfect for entertaining or to bring to pot-lucks. Salad dressing is not included in nutritional facts
if you want pinker add red food coloring
A fun way to serve fruit salad at a BBQ, picnic, potluck or party. I had quite a bit of leftover fruit that didn't fit into the pineapple bowl, so I served it on the side and when the pineapple bowl emptied out, I refilled it. You can add a touch of lime juice, if you're worried about the fruit browning. I cut mine close to when I served it, so I didn't have that problem. I was...
"This is another great recipe out of an old Betty Crocker cookbook dated 1969. This is a very easy and tasty dessert. I hope you enjoy it. Prep time does not include chill time."
This is from the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer cookbook. This is okay for phases 2 and 3. I changed regular water to sparkling. I enjoyed this tart, refreshing and pulpy drink. The orange flavor is especially nice.
These are a great tasting muffin I make during strawberry season, the riper your strawberries are the sweeter these will be. Frozen strawberries do NOT work well in this recipe so make sure you are using fresh ones. I like to slice a few extra strawberries to top the muffins with.
