How to Make Roasted Strawberries | Delish
Serious Mealtimes / Vicky Wasik
In 1878 a delegate to the Michigan Pomological Society lamented the sad state of strawberries which "are forced into the market before they are ripe. We know but little about the juicy ripe strawberry." After a hundred and forty years of tireless cultivation I would not want to know what he thinks of the strawberries in the supermarket today much less those sold in the dead of winter.
Still there are times when bakers have to work with what they have even if that fruit is out of season. Maybe it’s a strawberry shortcake craving that just won’t budge from a special request from someone you love too much to refuse or nostalgia for certain holiday combinations—who can resist strawberries and chocolate on Valentine’s Day? There’s no need to despair when working with boring winter strawberries as long as you give them a little TLC with these roasting and flavor-enhancing tricks. It works just as well in the summer when it can make an unusual fruit even more spectacular.
