use real butter

There is an almost floral flavor to ripe, fresh strawberries that screams summer to me. And while it isn’t my favorite fruit, I find it to be a beautiful fruit and a nice one to work with. When I want the really authentic flavor of strawberries in a dessert, I try to buy organic, and if not organic… in the old days, I bought from farmer’s markets like Pasadena *sigh*.

Yesterday I topped and washed and froze two pounds of berries.
