It's the most wonderful time of the year when fresh cherries and strawberries are in season!
🍓 In Vermont and across New England we eagerly await the appearance of roadside signs at local strawberry fields, welcoming folks to come on in and load up flats with hand-picked berries.

🍒 And it's also fresh cherries season! For a brief window in early summer, cherries in shades of garnet, Day-Glo red, and reddish-orange overflow in the grocery produce bins. We used to have two modest little cherry trees in the front yard and even they would produce a decent blush of fruit.
You will, of course, eat handfuls of fresh cherries and strawberries as soon as they come into the house. (I do, too.) Just be sure to set some aside for delicious, fresh cherry and strawberry recipes!
They include a cherry-filled Coffee Cake and a pretty Mason Jar Dessert with Three Kinds of Berries. And enjoy the classic combination of strawberries and cream in this no-bake Icebox Cake.

There have been a lot of fruit salads at our house recently. Social distancing has its perks.
Nancy Mock says
That is definitely a perk! I've picked up a lot of strawberries lately, even though local ones aren't out yet. Just can't resist!

The ladies in my house made an amazing pink lemonade with fresh strawberries and raspberries. My wife also made clafoutis with cherries. Fun weekend!
Nancy Mock says
I saw that she made clafoutis. That lemonade sounds so good! I don't think I have had pink lemonade made that way before.
The Armchair Squid says
I may encourage a re-creation of the lemonade for an upcoming gathering... The kids need to have something fun to drink, too, right?
Nancy Mock says
Oh, they'd love it!

That cherry coffee cake looks amazing! I'm so happy cherries are in season again. At $2/lb I'm picking up another bag every week. Strawberries are still a bit on the expensive side, however. I'm going to have to raid a friend's garden for those.
Nancy Mock says
I know, fruit can get so pricey. Sometimes I can catch a good sale and pick up a bunch. Perhaps you could trade some cherries to your friend for her strawberries! 🙂
