Perhaps the first one that come to mind is a strawberry shortcake.

Strawberry Moon

Tonight’s full moon, the Full Strawberry Moon, was known to every Native American Algonquin tribe. The short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June, so the full Moon that occurs during that month was christened for the strawberry.

Europeans in this new land, as usual, turned to their gardens rather than nature and called it the Rose Moon because of those blooms being most abundant at this time.

Strawberry Currant Jam

2 cups currants
1 cup water
1 qt strawberries (about 4 cups crushed)
3 cups sugar

Combine currants and water in a pot to make currant pulp. Cook 10 minutes to soften. Press mixture through a food mill or a sieve to remove the seeds.

Put strawberries, sugar, and currant pulp in a large saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Raise temperature and bring to a boil. Cook until thick, approximately 10 minutes. Stir occasionally midway through cooking to prevent scorching.

Pour hot jam into clean jars leaving a quarter-inch head space. Cover with lids and rings and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water canner. If you are going to keep it in the fridge or freezer just let cool overnight before storing.

Strawberry

Strawberries

Strawberries are full of fiber and antioxidants, including vitamin C. A half cup of strawberries contains 49 mg of the vitamin and 27 calories.

Vitamin C helps the body maintain healthy tissues and a strong immune system, and it aids in the absorption of iron.

Strawberry Fruits

Strawberries make fantastic milkshakes and luscious daiquiris, but those are only two of the mouthwatering beverages that include summer's sweet little fruit. Stock up on strawberries, get out your blender and whip up a few delicious strawberry drinks.

Strawberry Juice

Strawberry juice can be a little on thick side and so you will need to dilute it with another juice or water.

If your juicer has more than 1 speed, you will want to try juicing on a slower speed.

Strawberry Sweets

Everybody loves strawberries. A survey says, over 53 percent of 7- to 9-year old kids singled out strawberries as their favorite fruit.

These kids are wise because strawberries are highly nutritious. These ruby-red and succulent berry fruits have protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, vitamin C, folate, and vitamin A. There's also an ancient belief that strawberries have medicinal uses.

Unfortunately, strawberries don't last forever, in or outside the refrigerator. But with some sugar and a very short time of cooking and preparation, you can make these fresh strawberries last for a long while. And make money by selling them as strawberry sweets.

The strawberry could be the most prolific fruit on earth. There are so many ways to cook and prepare these luscious berry fruits. From beverages to desserts to sweets, the delectable strawberries always fit in.

• Stir this yogurt mixture into the bowl of jelly and divide between the wine glasses. Leave to set for a further ½ hour. Serve topped with the reserved yogurt and the strawberries, cut in half.
