Strawberry recipes
How many ways can one use a punnet of strawberries? Too many to count! But our summery strawberry recipes are a good place to start. Below you’ll find dozens of ideas for making the most of the iconic summer fruit.
Strawberries are typically in season from mid June to early August, depending on the weather and part of the UK they’re grown in. Picking your own strawberries is a timeless tradition, so check our our comprehensive guide to pick-your-own farms around the country.
Once you’ve gathered your bounty of berries, it’s time to make the most of them. Why not add a new strawberry recipe to your repertoire this summer? We have sweet and savoury ideas.
Try a baked cheesecake, make strawberry jam or give this eton mess roulade a go. Below you’ll find simple puds like balsamic strawberries with mascarpone through to showstopper desserts like our stunning strawberry, black pepper and clotted cream tart. Throw in cocktails, salads, biscuits, ices and preserves, and you’ll find something for everyone in our strawberry recipes collection.
