Strawberries
Selecting Ripe Berries
When purchasing strawberries, here are signs the strawberry is ripe. The color should be bright red, the scent strong and sweet, the top bright green, and the texture firm.
If the strawberry is dark red, soft, is bruised, and the stem is dark green, it is past its prime, and you should pass on buying it.
Conversely, if the strawberry has pink or white patches, it is not quite ripe enough to use immediately. Store the berry on your counter at room temperature for a few days, or put it under a paper bag for faster ripening.
Preparing Berries
To prepare strawberries, wash them thoroughly in cold water and pat them dry with paper towels or a tea towel. Then hull the strawberry by removing the green stem. The following steps will depend on your recipe. Sometimes, you might need to half or quarter the strawberry; in other cases, the strawberry is a perfect whole.
Now that we have that out of the way let's get on to the fun part. Strawberry recipes!
