Seasonal Strawberries in Montana
Strawberries are here!!! Every market day I walk around before hand and see what "new" veggies and fruit are showing up and this Saturday one of my absolute favorite seasonal fruit did!! STRAWBERRIES!!! So exciting I can barely contain myself since these little gems from Gallatin Valley Botanicals are so full of flavor they don't even compare to those that get shipped in from California. When I eat these gems I am immediately transported back to my childhood. Every Summer Solstice we... 
...would go pick strawberries at one of the local farms and arrange them on the biggest platters to be enjoyed next to the solstice fire that evening. Berries, Baclava and flat bread for dinner was paradise for me. The strawberries were a similar variety to what GVB grows here, small, full of flavor, sweet and they had to be eaten immediately. Most farms don't like to grown these older varieties any more since they don't keep well. We are so lucky farmers are growing them for us here since there is nothing more special to me then seasonal fruit with old world flavors. Anticipation plays a big role, the excitement when they finally arrive at the market followed by an over indulgence in their sweetness, all senses working on storing the deliciousness until next year. Eating in season brings so much joy to my life! What fruits and veggies are you most excited about every year?
