last of the season?
As we inch towards the latter part of June, strawberry season comes to a close. One of my favorite things to have in the morning as a child was when my grandmother would make either peaches and cream or strawberries and cream. My youngest daughter shares this passion and even though her dad had to rush off to work on Father's Day before getting a special breakfast, she enjoyed a heaping bowl of super ripe strawberries that really HAD to be used today with some of the extra rich cream skimmed off the top of our raw Jersey milk. It doesn't get much better than that. In her opinion it can get slightly better when Mom whips that cream with a little vanilla, but this is pretty darned good!
These may be our last fresh local strawberries of the year save the one or two a day that come from our garden. I wasn't even able to freeze very many from our pick your own excursion for lack of freezer space. Just in case, she made sure to savor every bite.
