What to do with fresh strawberries (pancakes, brown sugar, black pepper, vanilla)

[TampaKaren]

Plant City strawberries are plentiful and I need some fresh new ideas or recipes to use strawberries. I already have recipes for shortcake, cobbler, and bread. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Make jam, freezer jam, sugar them on put on pancakes, put over cereal, add to jello, smoothies, salads (so good with feta cheese, pecans and spinach greens), homemade ice cream, muffins. Yum!!

OHhh maaaan am I jealous! I would kill for strawberries right now!

My favorite ideas:
-Strawberry ice cream
-Strawberry-Mint muffins (google for this recipe, it's great)
-Strawberry-cucumber salad is always a refreshing treat.

Have them on your cereal in the morning.

This is one I love, I got it from Everyday Italian.

You can buy the Sara Lee Shortcake that is in the loafs, slice them in the width like your making a sandwich.

Get some Nutella, its a chocolate hazelnut spread, the consistancy of peanut butter and found on the same aisle

Spread the Nutella on the slices of shortcake, I like it on both sides, then cover with slices of strawberries.

Then put in a panini maker or you can heat it up in a skillet or like me, I use the George Foreman grill.

The heat warms the chocolate spread and its a wonderful unexpected dessert. I LOVE it.

Oh you beat me to it, I was going to say put it on your oatmeal. YUM!


Make a fruit salad.

Just love them sliced, dash of fresh ground black pepper, a splash of balsamic vinegar and some brown sugar. Toss and let sit awhile. Just put on pound cake w/whipped cream.

Strawberry spinach salad - Pampered Chef recipe - so good!

Strawberry Trifle - with layers of pound cake, vanilla pudding and strawberries
