As early as it may seem, what with snowfall and low temperatures still going strong in the Rockies, the beginning of strawberry season in the U.S. officially begins in February. Thus the appearance of the delicate little fruit every 14th of February. It may also be the reason they begin to have strawberry sales at grocer’s this time of year. The height of Utah’s strawberry season is during June. Utah even has an annual festival in Pleasant Grove, Strawberry Days. You’ve been noticed in advance, so you have no excuse to miss it now.
So the official season of strawberries has begun and it won’t be over for a few months. Satisfy a craving and make something with these beautiful and delicious fruits today. Here are the links to two easy and light recipes that I made last week.
Easier than Pie Strawberry Freezer Jam – took me less than an hour!
Martha’s Strawberry Sponge Pudding – hub raved about this.
And of course, Strawberry Banana Smoothies:
1-2 cups strawberries
2 large frozen bananas
1/4 cup plain yoghurt
a lil bit of milk, if it gets too thick
blend and enjoy!
