Now in its 75th year, the 2022 Poteet Strawberry Festival will be taking place for three days in April in the tiny town of Poteet, Texas. For those of us who can’t make the trip, here are five strawberry-starring recipes that celebrate one of the world’s most beloved and versatile fruits.
No-Churn Strawberry Basil Ice Cream
No need to pull out the ice-cream maker for this one! The flavor base of this no-churn recipe is a puree made from roasted strawberries, which concentrates not just their sweet flavor, but their color too.
Mixed Berry Pandowdy
For those familiar with the term, “pandowdy” is most often associated with apples. But pandowdy works just as well (if not better!) with mixed berries like blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. This recipe makes it especially easy by calling for store-bought puff pastry to make the flaky crust topping.
Strawberry-Gin Spritzer
As spring progresses toward summer, you may notice strawberries sporting a deeper red color. This makes it the perfect time to try this refreshing cocktail recipe, made with herbal gin and bitter Campari. And, hey, if you want to switch out the gin for vodka or sparkling wine or seltzer, feel free—the strawberries won’t mind.
Upside-Down Strawberry Snack Cake
Sometimes you just want something that scratches that cake itch. For times like those, we present to you our very own Upside-Down Strawberry Snack Cake, which is super easy to make (the recipe calls for boxed yellow cake mix) and tastes just as incredible sans ice cream.
Pickled Strawberry Preserves
Do you know what pairs beautifully with this strawberry preserves recipe created by David Lebovitz? Goat cheese. Ice cream. Whipped cream. Brie. Pancakes. French toast. Waffles. Graham crackers. A grilled cheese sandwich. Know what else pairs beautifully with these preserves? A fork.
