Summer means strawberries: gloriously red, fragrant strawberries, delicious on their own or with cream, shortbread, chocolate, balsamic vinegar, rose water, rose petals and pomegranate.

They can be dipped, sliced, blended or left whole. They can be pickled, muddled or made into jam. They go with other berries, banana, pineapple and caramel.
