Tuna Burger with Pickled Strawberry Relish #SundaySupper #FLStrawberry

This post is sponsored by Florida Strawberry Growers Association in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.

Nothing beats the taste of a fresh strawberry from Florida this time of year.

From November through April, these tasty gems are at their peak, ripe and ready to eat. I want to put them on everything!

Florida Strawberries chase the winter doldrums away and brighten any meal.

So it’s no wonder I want to keep those good for you treats around as long as possible.
Stocking up now from my local grocer gets my creative juices flowing.

I can make pies or muffins and of course my favorite breakfast, Strawberry Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast with homemade strawberry syrup of course!

Making strawberry syrup is a great way to preserve that fresh strawberry taste. Sweet, juicy Florida Strawberries make great preserves, jams and fruit leather too. You can also can some, freeze some or maybe dehydrate a few.

I’m PA Dutch and we’re famous for pickling everything from eggs to pig’s feet. So why not pickle strawberries? It’s easy too.

Start with clean, sterile jars with tight fitting lids. I boil the brine and simply pour it over the berries. Seal the jars, cool and refrigerate.

I used pickled Florida Strawberries to make a relish for these tuna burgers.

We got amazing flavors going on here.

You can also use pickled strawberries in salads and dressings, drizzled over ice cream even stirring into yogurt.

Does everyone in your family love Florida Strawberries? Of course they do!

U-Pick farms are now open.

Picking your own strawberries is a great experience for the whole family.

Here are some tips for picking your own strawberries on a U-Pick farm.
