Fresh pear, strawberry and spinach salad
Strawberry Rhubarb pie
Fresh strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting
Strawberry swirl cheesecake
Strawberry (or mixed berry with blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
cobbler
Pancakes with fresh strawberry syrup
Chilled strawberry soup (I haven't made it but by sister does a good job
with it)

We got 1/2 a flat on Sunday and they are almost gone already. We did berry
shortcake last night because I wanted raspberries and blackberries too. Very
nice.

Enjoy them whatever you do with them.

I also clean and rinse then dry well about half a flat of strawberries. I
freeze them and use them as ice cubes in sprite or 7up or gingerale for the
kidlets and they work really well making strawberry smoothies or strawberry
ice cream.
