A SPRING TIME TREAT FRESH FOR PICKIN’
GO GET ‘EM!
The arrival of strawberries each spring is cause for celebration. The shiny, cardinal-red berries crowned with green leaves are so pretty, they’re a treat for your eyes before you ever get them into your mouth. When you do, and the first bite releases their sweetness, a perfect marriage of simple sugar with a tiny tang that pops up on the back end of your taste buds, you know you’ve got a good one. Fresh strawberries are best enjoyed straight out of hand; if you’re lucky enough to grab some from a U-pick farm, you can achieve nirvana eating the ruby gems while they’re still warm from the sun. But if you’d like to make further use of them, here are a few ways to embellish but not outshine them.
Picking strawberries is a pleasant and tasty way to spend a spring or early summer morning. Try Sugar Hill U-pick farm in Verbena. In a hurry? Grab a few buckets at a farm stand or farm market like Sweet Creek Market in Pike Road.
