Strawberries were early this year by about three weeks. And from the gate they were sweet and juicy in tastings that I had in late May. Maxwell’s is the earliest producer in our area and his berries have been wonderful. I’ve been buying them at from Jordan’s Farm who packs the quart containers over the top so you’re getting a big quart box of berries. This year they’re priced at $7.95. Jordan’s own berry season is just beginning and early berries are in the shop now.

So far I’ve made all kinds of pies and cobblers with the berries. On the main page of the blog put “strawberry pie” in the search box and you’ll get 19 recipes (some repeats) for strawberry desserts. Two of my favorites are uncooked berries folded into a thick strawberry sauce.
