Strawberries are among the first fruit to ripen in the
Northeast.
In my area of Ohio , strawberries are
ripe around the first week in June.
Every year we make Strawberry Freezer Jam and freeze cut-up strawberries to use during cold winter months. Sometimes we use fresh strawberries for other recipes like Strawberry Schnapps.
This year I decided to try homemade Strawberry Pie Filling. There is nothing better than a cool dessert on a hot summer day. But a strawberry pie with whipped topping is a great dessert anytime.
For
me, strawberries mark the passage from spring to summer each year. And besides,
making delicious fresh strawberry edibles gives me something to do while I
eagerly wait for my garden vegetable to ripen.
