3. FRESAS DE ROQUETAS (15)

They say strawberries taste better sprinkled with a little black pepper, never tried it myself

If you do freeze them you can use them to make an 'almost' instant pudding. Put some frozen strawbs in the bottom of a bowl and then pour over some strawberry jelly. The cold from the strawbs helps the jelly to set really quickly. This was a fave when my children were little.

Also you can slice & soften in a pan with a bit of white sugar to make a syrup/coulis - fantastic with pancakes or icecream and freezes well
