Our June-bearing strawberry patch is done for the year. The berries needed to be picked every day for about 3 weeks or so. We put some away in the freezer – bagged a few for future smoothies, sliced and lightly sugared some for future short cakes or pies and made a couple jars of jam.
The best part of having backyard berries is eating them fresh every day. But have you ever wished for something just a little bit more than fresh fruit for dessert but no time to fuss? Well wish no more. Try this: pop one luscious ripe strawberry and 2 chocolate chips into your mouth at the same time. Savor slowly. It tastes almost as if you’ve been melting chocolate and dipping strawberries all afternoon!
