\"Strawberries<\/a>The season for fresh local berries is coming soon, maybe already here for some, so what’s the best way to eat them?\u00a0 Of course, just wash and eat is the first way.\u00a0 When the berries are fully ripe, that’s quite delicious.\u00a0 Then there are the sugary desserts–pies, crumbles, cakes, and fools.\u00a0\u00a0But what if you want something just a little more than a handful of fresh berries, you don’t want to spend a lot of time making it, and you want something just as delicious and beautiful?\u00a0 Well, here’s the perfect solution–berries and cream.\u00a0 Yes, simply berries and cream.\u00a0 Couldn’t be easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s the recipe (so simple, a recipe seems unnecessary):<\/span><\/p>\n

Berries<\/span>
\nFarm-fresh raw cream<\/span><\/p>\n

Wash and\u00a0dry\u00a0the berries, put them in one or more dishes, and pour on a little cream, to taste.\u00a0 Slice strawberries, if they’re large.\u00a0 Most other berries are best whole, whatever is local and fresh.\u00a0 If store-bought use organic berries.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s all!\u00a0In only a very few minutes this dessert or snack is done and ready to eat.<\/p>\n

For the best flavor and nourishment, I recommend using farm-fresh raw cream from a local licensed raw milk dairy.\u00a0 The\u00a0cream in the photo is from Stryk’s Dairy<\/a>\u00a0near Schulenberg, TX.\u00a0 There’s enough sweet creamy richness to the raw\u00a0cream that adding\u00a0sweeteners is not necessary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My current favorite combination\u00a0is ripe strawberries and cream, but the local mulberries I found at the farmers market last Saturday\u00a0are also delicious.\u00a0 I can’t wait for fresh blueberry season here in Houston.\u00a0 Blueberries and cream are also wonderful.<\/p>\n

And I got to eat these berries and cream after taking the photos!\u00a0 Can’t beat that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
