More With Beets!
Here are a couple of ideas for a leftover beet. When I roast in big bunches I often have one that doesn’t get eaten. So I’m showing you what I do with a lone beet. Let no veggie go unloved!
Ingredient: Strawberries
Strawberry
- Description-
Strawberries are plump, bright red berries with pretty green tops. Strawberries are sweet and covered with tiny seeds. Strawberry season in New England in typically June, a jewel of spring time! Springdell strawberries are the bomb!
- Preparation-
Wash your strawberries in cold water, but do not let them soak. Strawberries bruise easily so handle them with care. Remove the green caps just before use. Strawberries can be enjoyed as is, or cooked as well. They are very sweet and pair nicely in baked goods and salads. Strawberries are a classic berry for jam and preserving.
- Storage-
Leave the green tops on your strawberries until you are ready to use them. Refrigerate your unwashed berries when you get home. Fresh berries are not a long time keeper, use them up within a day or two.
- Nutrition-
Vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber
Save your strawberry caps for a refreshing glass of Farmer Jamie’s Strawberry Cap water! Jess enjoys this with a peel or two of rhubarb thrown in as well!
