I have been searching for the best strawberry recipes to serve at our Memorial Day cookout this year.  One of the first fruits of spring in Vermont are strawberries.  Somehow, those bright red berries just lend themselves perfectly to the red, white, and blue theme of Memorial Day.  Whether your Memorial Day includes a cookout, a picnic in the park, or a parade down Main Street, try a few of these strawberry recipes to help celebrate.

Best Strawberry Recipes

When I first think of the best strawberry recipes, I think of desserts like strawberry rhubarb pie and strawberries dipped in chocolate.  There really are a number of other ways you can enjoy fresh strawberries besides desserts.  Consider strawberries on top of Belgian Waffles for breakfast or strawberries topping a fresh garden salad for lunch.  If you have quite a few strawberries, consider putting up a few jars of fresh strawberry jam.

Here are just a few of the best strawberry recipes I’ve found to share with you all:
