Lucas County invites you to Jam with Stevens Gardens
Join the Lucas County Farm Bureau for “Jam with Stevens Gardens”: from propagation to jam making, Saturday, Jun 24.
Frozen Strawberry Yogurt
This fresh, frosty treat doesn’t call for any special equipment, just a few stirs throughout the afternoon that result in a smooth and creamy texture.
Strawberry Syrup
Fresh pancakes or waffles should be crowned with only the best syrup like this ruby colored strawberry syrup, which takes only four ingredients to make. Unfortunately, it doesn’t store for too long in the refrigerator, but then again it won’t be around that long.
Strawberry Gin Smash
Here’s what puts the “happy” in Happy Hour! It’s a completely refreshing way to welcome guests. Be sure to seek out Ohio brands of gin, such as Watershed Distillery where the classic juniper notes are subdued. If you’re new to mixology, “muddle” simply means to press or pin the ingredients against the side of glass with the back of a spoon. This releases the flavors of the ingredients to bind with the spirits.
Chilled Strawberry Soup
Wait until the end of the meal to serve this cooling soup, perfect for a hot or muggy day when the body needs to “chill.” And if you can’t wait, it’s also a delightful way to start the day at breakfast or brunch.
Strawberry Salsa with Cinnamon Chips
Wonderfully fresh and sweet, this salsa is often served as a dessert salsa or an appetizer. Make it a day ahead and cover and refrigerate.
Fresh Strawberry Pie
This pie includes a thin layer of cream cheese with the homemade filling.
Strawberries in Balsamic with Black Pepper
Strawberry simplicity.
Roasted Strawberries with Cornmeal Pound Cake
Roasting draws out the sweetness of the strawberries.
