It’s berry season! With these warm, sunny days I decided to go strawberry picking at Applewood Orchard nearby in Lakeville, MN.
Moms and kids and young families were there picking strawberries. With all the rain we’ve had recently there was a bountiful crop. Sitting on the warm straw in the middle of a row of ripe strawberries I could smell the earthiness of the dirt, but the scent of strawberry was just overwhelming. Of course you can sample and eat as you go.
A flat of gorgeous red strawberries in your kitchen just asks for Strawberry Soup. It’s so easy.
Put 4 cups of rinsed strawberries, stems removed, in a deeper sauce pot. Add about ½ cup of sugar and ½ cup of water. Here’s a secret: add 1-2 tbsp of dark, balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle in some fennel seed. Heat until simmering. Purée with a hand blender. If you like add 2-3 tbsp. of brandy and 1 tbsp. of Ouzo. Serve chilled with a dollop of yogurt and mint.
