Bright red rhubarb stalks are one of the first vegetables to be harvested in gardens. These crisp stalks need added sweetner to offset the tartess but make the best pies and desserts.
Bright red juicy strawberries herald the arrival of spring. They are one of the most versatile berries and the most widely cultivated. They are featured in many dishes and are one of the easiest fruits to grow. My garden has always had a large strawberry patch much to my children’s dismay. They hated the weeding but when they berries were ready the patch became much more likeable. June-bearing are my favorite kind to plant. Homegrown strawberries have the most flavor simply because the sugar converts to starch soon after they being picked.
Summertime gardens will soon be producing bountifully. Salads are an important part of our meals and fresh produce is always a blessing. Cucumbers and cabbage are combined to make this salad. You will find an interesting ingredient in the dressing that adds to the flavor…Kosher Dill pickle brine!
