Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Although available year-round, fresh strawberries are at their best from April to June. Go ahead and use other in-season fresh fruit when your grocery store’s strawberries look less than spectacular.
  • tip 2
    No need to limit yourself to strawberries! Anything from apricots to watermelon works well, too.
