Maybe you’ve got a village jubilee fete coming up and you’ve agreed to bake something for the cake sale, well you could use up some of your strawberries, in these delicious strawberry and white chocolate muffins.
And if you’re looking for something alcoholic and oh so very British to celebrate the jubilee, we think Pimms is fitting for the occasion. Pimms has become the quintessential British summertime drink, with the Pimms Royal Cup being a firm favourite for many royal celebrations all over the country. But alongside a glass of Pimms with your homegrown strawberries and mint, we’ve also got the perfect, cooling and refreshing dessert idea – give this strawberry Pimms sorbet a go!
And let’s not forget the kids! We also have a fantastic recipe for dairy-free, strawberry ice-cream.
The internet provides plenty of strawberry Victoria sponge and impressive strawberry cake recipes, but here at Kitchen Garden we’ve got plenty of tips for growing the berries, both online and in the magazine. We’ve got Tony’s advice for pollinating indoor strawberries and in the current June issue, fruit-growing expert David Patch offers some top advice on growing strawberries in containers and Anna Cairns Pettigrew shares two of her delicious strawberry recipes.
There’s lots more recipes and advice to explore throughout our website and magazine! Take a look around and you’ll also find lots more, helpful growing tips and jobs for the spring and summer season. And while we’re on the topic of the Jubilee, we’ve got a fantastic offer available for you here – you’ll get 6 issues for just £25 plus 20 packets of seeds!
