Infuse vinegar with fresh strawberry tops for a delicious addition to salad dressings, marinades, vegetable pickling, and chutneys.
Have you been enjoying the abundance of strawberries available at the moment? Everywhere I look, strawberries are on sale at really affordable prices, so I’ve been packing our fridge full of them. As I’ve been cooking up some delicious strawberry recipes (coming soon) and snacking on the fresh fruit daily, I’ve been mindful of how many strawberry tops were potentially destined for the worm farm. As much as the worms love strawberries, there’s a better way to make the most of the whole strawberry.
