I don't know about you but I love Strawberry Season! Sweet juicy red strawberries delicious in cereal, pies, cakes, smoothies, ice cream and sorbet with whipcream or just on their very own. These Strawberry recipes are simliar to ones i've made before so they should be yummy! We serve a strawberry soup close to this recipe at work when it's really hot out in a nice cold half a cantaloupe bowl.
