What To Do With Fresh Picked Strawberries
Strawberries are a sure sign of Summer! They are fabulous in so many recipes, from salads to desserts. Here are a few lovely ideas to help you make the most of those beautiful Summer Strawberries!!
Extend that strawberry season just a little bit with my recipe for Pickled Strawberries with Pink Peppercorn and Rose. They are great right out of the jar, as a cheesecake topping, or in a cocktail. Simple and lovely!
If you have any of that luscious pickling brine left over from my pickled strawberry recipe, then try my Strawberry White Balsamic Vinaigrette. It makes perfect use of the brine for the pickled strawberries, and it's delightful on a wide variety of salads. The secret ingredient in this sweet and tangy vinaigrette is chive blossoms! They add just enough of a savory note to balance the sweetness. Fresh strawberries may also be used!
That Summer staple lemonade is made even more refreshing with the addition of not only strawberries, but sweet fresh basil. There's nothing better on a warm day than a tall glass of my Easy Strawberry Basil Lemonade!
This classic dessert is reimagined with brown sugar biscuits, fresh strawberries, and sweet whipped cream all layered together in lovely jars. My recipe for Strawberry Shortcake In A Jar is so good, you may never eat this dessert any other way!
Just when you think strawberries can't get any better, along comes this Roasted Strawberry Ice Cream With White Chocolate from Choclette over at Tin and Thyme. This ice cream is simply divine, and takes the classic flavor combination of strawberries and white chocolate to whole new level!
It is hardly Summer without a popsicle, and these Summer Pudding Ice Lollies from Janice at Farmersgirl Kitchen are definitely hard to resist. Sugar and fresh berries are all you need for this perfect beat the heat Summertime treat!
No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream and Rhubarb and Strawberry Sauce
Don't let the lack of an ice cream maker stop you from having any strawberry ice cream! This recipe for No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream and Rhubarb and Strawberry Sauce from Kate at Gluten Free Alchemist has just 5 simple ingredients, along with brilliant suggestions for lovely additions such as balsamic vinegar or honey. Happy Summer indeed!
Why not have your cake and eat it too! This Strawberry Cake from Emma at Kitchen Mason uses fresh strawberries in the cake and in the frosting. Its sweet and light with a moist and chewy crumb. this cake just screams Summer!

It is a wonderful way for a wide range of food writers, recipe creators and bloggers to come together and share each other’s recipes.
The linky is now hosted regularly by Sisley from Sew White & Chloe from Feast Glorious Feast . New members are always welcome to join so make sure you invite your other food blogger

The last linky was hosted by Sisely at Sew White who put together a collection of Easy Summer Recipes.
Each week the host chooses a selection of recipes which have been submitted during the previous week to showcase. For this week I have chosen the theme What To Do With Fresh Picked Strawberries.
