Indulge in the Sweetness of Summer: Fun Twist to Enjoy Fresh Strawberries.
When the summer season hits its peak, strawberries become irresistibly sweet. According to Dr. Gail Nonnecke, a horticulture professor at Iowa State University and member of The North American Strawberry Growers Association, the eastern and midwestern northern states witness the seasonality of strawberries from mid-May to early July.
With these luscious berries at their finest, it’s the perfect time to explore a delightful new way of savoring them. Erica, also known as Cook It Erica on Instagram and TikTok, has shared her unique method for creating “deviled strawberries.” This innovative approach draws inspiration from the bite-sized, savory egg dish.
The concept is refreshingly simple and can be enjoyed on various occasions. Whether you’re seeking a quick sweet treat to elevate your dessert tray or preparing for a festive 4th of July celebration, deviled strawberries fit the bill perfectly.
To make them, start by slicing off the top of a strawberry and cutting it in half lengthwise. Partially remove the center to create space for a delectable filling of your choice, such as frosting, whipped cream cheese, or any other sweet delight that tempts your taste buds. Serve and relish!
Here’s an additional tip to maximize your strawberry enjoyment: Don’t let anything go to waste! Save the discarded center parts of the strawberries and use them to infuse flavor into refreshing fruit-filled water by adding them to an ice cube tray. This way, you can savor the essence of strawberries in every sip.
