It's strawberry season here in Michigan. Or. . . at least, it WAS strawberry season. I heard yesterday that it's pretty much over now. (But it was nice while it lasted!)
This week, Carole has us thinking about our Ten Favorite Ways to Eat Strawberries.
- Just Plain
- On Short Cake with Whipped Cream
- In Daiquiris
- As Jam
- On Ice Cream as Sundae Topping
- Sliced in Cereal -- with Banana
- Dipped in Chocolate
- Sliced in Salads (especially good in spinach salad with a lemon vinaigrette)
- Mixed in a Smoothie
- In the Ears. . .
What's YOUR favorite way to eat strawberries?
==========
Join the fun! Sign up for Ten on Tuesday here.
love the cocktail suggestions on this week's lists - I think I need to fire up the blender! (oh, it is only 8:20 am though!)

There isn't a bad way to eat a strawberry. The sin is not to eat strawberries!

I love 'em plain. But I also add them to rhubarb for rhubarb strawberry jam. Pretty yummy!

I loved strawberry ice cream until I became lactose intolerant, but now I love them almost plain--my husband sprinkles them with a little liqueur of some sort (it's a secret) and some orange zest.

Yikes! I hope I didn't miss it! (I haven't seen any local berries up here, so maybe they got nailed with our crazy Michigan weather. I'll check out the farm market this weekend.)

Does my Jenny like them?
Shot up with booze, dipped in chocolate and frozen.

I know I'm a day late, but I love your Ten on Tuesday post and I missed it yesterday. I love strawberries glazed with a squeeze of lemon juice and brown sugar with a touch of Grand Marinier and some orange zest. Serve over angel food cake topped with vanilla ice cream. One of my fave summer treats. Yum! Another thing I like to do with strawberries is to chill a bottle of my fave summer wine -a crisp riesling or a Portugese green wine- and dip the strawberries in the wine and eat them. Heavenly!
