It’s Pick Strawberries Day! Check out these awesome summer strawberry recipes.
Strawberries are the PERFECT summer fruit! Today on the show we celebrated Pick Strawberries Day by sharing some awesome recipes for you and your family to enjoy!
But first, how did strawberries come to be?
“The origin of the berry as we know it comes from Brittany, France, where it was first cultivated in a garden in the 1750’s, as a blend of two other forms of wild strawberry. Long before this, however, they had begun cultivating them in their gardens from the wild, as early as the 14th century. They’ve been with us ever since as a popular dessert and food item, and are grown in the thousands all over the world.” –daysoftheyear.com
So, get out there today, grab some strawberries and use some of these awesome recipes from SouthernLiving.com! Here are some of our favorites:
Strawberry Lemon Shortbread Bars
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp with Granola
