Oh, how I love strawberries... especially strawberries on sale!
There was a great deal on strawberries at Stanley's this week, so I bought a full box of them. (Maybe I was a little too excited about spring.) We tried lots of delicious strawberry recipes, and we made freezer jam with the rest.
This beauty had a very funny "nose" growing on the top, so we added almond/blueberry eyes. Alli said he looked like Grandpa Ohio with his mustache.
My favorite strawberry salad: spring greens, red onions sauteed in a balsamic maple reduction, maple-glazed pecans, goat cheese, and strawberries. To make the pecans and onions... first put a handful of pecans into a pan over medium heat, add about one tablespoon of maple syrup. Mix to coat pecans. Cook for about five minutes. Set pecan aside. In the same pan add the red onions, sliced thin, and about one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Saute for a few minutes until soft. Toss all the ingredients together with another dash of balsamic vinegar and enjoy.
If you are in the mood for some freezer jam, stop by. We have more freezer jam than we have space for right now. Yum.
