It’s worth making once a year when the strawberries are at their peak.

I love strawberry season too! And fresh tomato season, and fresh corn season - so much to look forward to in the coming months.

That turquoise-ish strawberry box brought back such memories! Is that just how they are sold in the USA, or what is used in U-pick places? I remember that my grandmother, who had a very nice strawberry patch in her garden, had a lot of those small boxes.

At my local market, they are sold this way. And many markets, I think. My grandma also had a patch and we had one in Belgium, as well.

I love how food reminds us of the past. And I try to make this at least once a year when the strawberries come in.

At least! Maybe once a week, unless there are other recipes that evoke just as strong memories.
