Strawberry Season

If only we had strawberries that didn't disappoint us!

As with most strawberries I find here in Southern California, my last purchase was far too hard, with barely any fragrance or sweetness one expects from fresh strawberries.  I guess the farmers pick these varieties to be hardy enough for transport across the country.


Well, one can always make strawberry sauce!


I know David Tanis wrote in his cookbook that strawberries go nicely with roses as they are botanically related.  Let's put that to the test!  I happened to have some Rose Tea on hand.....


I've picked out just the dried rose petals, and added it to my strawberries simmering in a saucepan.


The results?  YUM! Excellent on vanilla ice cream!
