I love visiting the produce section this time of year, because its Florida’s strawberry season. There is nothing better than a fresh Plant City strawberry. Here in Florida they not only sell locally grown strawberries in the grocery stores they also sell them out of the backs of trucks along side most major roads.

There is something special about buying fresh strawberries from the back of someone’s truck while avoiding dangerous oncoming traffic. But, what do you do with all these fresh strawberries?

My favorite recipe for Florida strawberries is to make strawberry shortcake from Jiffy mix. I take the strawberries and cut them up and cover them in sugar or even splenda so that they get a nice thick juice on them. I then serve them over the warm shortcakes with milk poured over the top. The crowning glory is the whipped cream on top.

To save your strawberries simply cut them up and cover them with sugar and freeze. You can have strawberry shortcake all year long.
