Strawberries

You can purchase strawberries in the grocery store year round, but their peak season is between April and June. Of course when strawberries are best will depend on where you live. I live in a colder climate, so June is strawberry season for me. When strawberry season does hit, I can’t get enough. I eat them plain, add them to salads, and make strawberry shortcakes. Strawberries are by far one of my favorite fruits, which is fortunate because they are the first fruit to come into season in the spring. I love all of the fresh produce that starts coming out in the spring. It is always so delicious, and most of it needs very little extra flavor added to it to make a lovely meal. When I have simple steamed potatoes as a side dish with strawberries for dessert, I am a very happy woman. What is your favorite spring produce? Source: localfoods.about.com
