How To Make Strawberry Shortcake in a Jar
This time of year is one of our favorites. It’s strawberry season. Red. Sweet. Deliciousness. Here in the NW, there are so many local farms that have u-pick strawberries, it’s hard not to be there every weekend!
The varieties here tend to be some of the sweetest around. If you’ve never picked fresh fruit before, you have to try it at least once. You’ll be amazed at the flavor.
They taste wonderful in this Strawberry Balsamic Flatbread or these Strawberry Oatmeal Bars.
A few years back we started the tradition of picking strawberries on Father’s Day as a family. We then freeze them to use throughout the year. I love watching the kids picking and taking a nibble as they go along. 🙂
There are so many recipes and sweet treats that are perfect for fresh strawberries. Here’s one of our favorites that’s also one of the easiest and makes a good presentation. Strawberry Shortcake in a Jar. We like to use these half-pint mason jars. These jars seem to be a perfect size.
