One of the joys of spring is the arrival of strawberries. It seems to me that our Arkansas berries are the best of any in the country, but I know it’s really just getting them freshly picked when ripe that makes all the difference. When my kids were all still at home I took them with me to pick. Most of them loved the experience of watching their buckets fill with ripe red goodness, even though strawberry picking is hard work with bending over to the ground to find the red jewels. We ate berries with every meal and sometimes strawberry shortcake was the meal, which never brought any complaints at my house.
