Our strawberries have gotten their "second wind" after taking a break mid-summer.
Now I'm getting a nice bowl-full every other day or so.
Older Daughter has taken to making an absolutely yummy treat with these beauties: Chocolate-covered strawberries.
She starts by melting some chocolate chips (with a little olive oil added) in a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water, double-boiler style.
She hulls the strawberries, then carefully dries them. Chocolate apparently doesn't stick to wet strawberries.
Then she drops the strawberries, one at a time, into the chocolate and kinda rolls them around. After that she lays them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
She puts these, still on the cookie sheet, in the freezer for about 15 minutes, then they go in the fridge. It's a nice treat for a hot day, and a great way to use up an abundance of strawberries.
