Have you noticed how incredibly cheap strawberries are right now? They are one of many fruits in season so the prices are fantastic. I’ve paid as little as $.79 for a pound! Here is a quick and easy recipe to serve fresh strawberries as a dessert or snack.
1 package strawberries, sliced into quarters with tops removed
1/2 juicy lemon, remove seeds and squeeze over berries
1-2 T powdered sugar, depending on how ripe your berries are
1 T chopped mint leaves
You can serve over ice cream if you want but they are delicious by themselves!
What is your favorite strawberry recipe?
