Strawberry Sangria
This easy summer drink is made with fresh berries, citrus juice, strawberry jam, red wine, brandy, and marsala.
This strawberry ice cream pie is an easy summer dessert made with a crunchy walnut crust, strawberry ice cream, fresh strawberries, and a rich balsamic drizzle.
The arrival of fresh strawberries signals the start of summer, the time to visit pick-your-own farms and farmers’ markets to stock up on plump, ripe berries. This recipe makes an unfussy version in a smaller size—faster and easier than traditional canning.
Love this easy refrigerator jam? Us, too. This is why we’ve got a recipe for small-batch blueberry jam as well.

Let’s not mince words here—food on sticks is awesome. We all know it, so grab some skewers and start lining up stuff to grill, roast, toast, and otherwise enjoy.
