Works For Me Wednesday: Romantic Strawberries
Here is a quick and easy way to take strawberries from regular to romantic!
Wash and dry the strawberries. For the fan shape you’ll want to leave the cap (the green leaves) on, for the heart shape you’ll need to take the cap off.
To make the fan all you do is make thin cuts from the bottom of the berry to the top, but don’t go all the way through the cap.
Gently fan out the slices and you have a beautiful garnish.
Here’s how you make the strawberry hearts: Take a clean berry and remove the cap by cutting a v shape on the narrow side of the berry.
Slice the narrow side top to bottom and you’ll have strawberry hearts!
These fancy strawberries are fun to give to your kids and to your spouse. It’s just another way to show your family that you love them!
Be sure to visit Rocks In My Dryer…I got to meet Shannon at BlissDom and she’s very sweet!
Be sure to go to Nesting Place on Friday! Nester and I have a special surprise for you all!

Oh my those look delish! And fresh and red inside–I cannot stand it when I bring strawberries home and they are under “cooked” and white inside!

Thanks for the comment Nester! The trick to making sure your strawberries are ripe is to first look for bright red ones and then lift the container up and smell them. It looks kind of funny, but if they smell like sweet berries then the most likely will taste like them too!
