Sure, here’s a rewritten version:
While strawberries are available throughout the year, there’s nothing quite like enjoying them at their seasonal peak. My mom is partial to the strawberries from Plant City, Florida, which start appearing in stores around late February. Those are certainly delicious, but I have a particular fondness for the strawberries from the nearby u-pick farm. I make it a point to wake up early, put on my oversized straw hat to shield myself from the sun, and join the strawberry enthusiasts crouched among the straw to pick the best fruits.
Initially, I savor these strawberries just as they are, but soon enough, I’m inspired to create a variety of strawberry desserts and treats. Pies, bars, crisps, custards, sauces—whatever features strawberries, count me in.
Here are our top strawberry desserts to whip up whenever you feel inspired. And if you find yourself with more berries than you can eat, check out our method for keeping them fresh in the fridge for over a week.
