Growing up in California, where strawberries grow year round, I had my fair share of the juicy, plump red berries! Personally, out of all the berries, I use strawberries the most because they can be used in savory or sweet dishes, cocktails, snacks, salads, made into a reduction, smoothies… the list goes on. They are the most versatile berry around and I couldn’t be happier to team up with California Strawberries for a BERRY fun giveaway!!

Strawberry Sorbet with Elderflower
Strawberry sorbet is one of the most refreshing and easy treats to make using simple ingredients. We poured a little elderflower liqueur over the sorbet and it adds a beautiful floral sweetness and fully compliments the strawberries.

Strawberry Brie Dip
Baked brie is absolutely one of my favorite appetizers to make and the strawberries have taken it to the next level! We roasted California strawberries with honey and topped them on warm, melty baked brie. You can cook the strawberries and the brie at the same time in the oven, making it even easier! Serve with crackers and you have on incredibly delicious snack!
