Strawberry Season

The most glorious time of the year has arrived — strawberry season.

I had wondered if all the nasty, cold and wet weather earlier this spring had derailed this year's crop. According to Hardmoney grower Danny Garrett, the answer is no. Although not as sweet as in the past, he says this year's crop is filled with flavor. And with any luck from Mother Nature, sunny days could help to sweeten the crop. He has a stand at the Farmers Market downtown and at his farm on Hardmoney Road.

I'm planning sweet strawberry recipes for next week. Please send along your best recipes for pies, cakes or anything strawberry related. As always, feel free to leave comments with your recipes.
