1. Strawberry Lemonade: there’s one thing I know for sure: a summer barbecue just wouldn’t be complete without a cold glass of strawberry lemonade.

3. Strawberry Fruit Leather: this is a great way to preserve your fruit for longer than the summer, yum!

4. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie: this is a perfect combination for a delicious dessert, a little tart and very sweet.

5. Strawberry Ice Cream: We’re baking a homemade graham cracker crust and topping it with a homemade strawberry ice cream… Bam! Just like that, summer is here!

9. Strawberry Lemonade Ice Tea:  I love iced tea and strawberry lemonade, so I decided to create an Arnold Palmer style drink with some strawberry syrup for extra flavor and some seltzer water to make the drink extra light and refreshing.
