National Strawberries and Cream Day
Today
is National Strawberries and Cream Day! The simple combination of fresh
sliced strawberries and homemade whipped cream has been a popular dish
for centuries. In fact, in medieval England it was customary for
newlyweds to enjoy strawberries and soured cream for their wedding
breakfast.
The
strawberry is the first fruit to ripen every spring and each refreshing
bite contains high levels of Vitamin C, fiber, folic acid, and
potassium. If you’re feeling experimental, there are many interesting
variations on the classic strawberries and cream recipe. Try flavoring
your whipped cream with amaretto liqueur or substituting a combination
of fat-free sour cream and brown sugar instead. For a more elaborate
dessert, put together a trifle with alternating layers of fruit, cream,
and a sweet pastry such as ladyfinger cookies. For more ideas, check out
these recipes for stuffed strawberries.
To
celebrate National Strawberries and Cream Day, head to a local farm and
pick your own fresh strawberries as a fun spring activity for the whole
family. Then enjoy the fruits of your labor with a delicious snack of
strawberries and cream at home!
