My family and I went strawberry picking on Saturday and I was wondering what else I could do with them aside from:
Strawberry shortcake
strawberry rhubarb pie
strawberry bread
strawberry jam

We have ALOT of strawberries

Thanks,
Char

We freeze them on cookie sheets and put them in a ziplock for easy smoothie making. They don't last long!

I make a strawberry sauce with the ones that are getting soft.

I cut them up, cover with water in a suace pan, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and glop of molasses. I then boil it until it begins to thicken.

It keeps for a long time. I put it on waffles, mix yogurt, over over a fruit salad.

We have a surplus in our garden right now. We freeze most of them, but have been eating them fresh-picked at mealtimes, adding them to fruit salads, and enjoying them sliced on French Toast, with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. I'm waiting until we harvest the last before making jam. I like the smoothie idea!
