    RECIPE: STRAWBERRY THYME ICE CUBES

    To start the celebration, here’s a fun and tasty recipe from Shari’s Berries: Strawberry Thyme Ice Cubes.

    Use them in cocktails, iced tea, punch bowls, sparkling water, water pitchers, or soft drinks like Ginger Ale, 7-Up, and Fresca.

    Ingredients

  • Large silicon ice cube tray*
  • 18† medium-sized fresh strawberries
  • 6 sprigs of fresh thyme (substitute basil chiffonade)
  • Mortar and pestle
  • Water
  • _____________________
     
    *The larger the cubes, the more slowly they melt.

    †The number will vary based on the size of strawberries available, and how many ice cubes you’d like to make.
     
    Preparation

    1. MUDDLE the strawberries with a mortar and pestle. Distribute evenly so each section of the ice cube tray is filled 2/3 with muddled berries. Each cube requires 2-3 berries.

    2. FILL the ice cube sections the rest of the way with water, and top with a sprig of fresh thyme. Freeze 4-5 hours.

    STRAWBERRY TRIVIA

  • Strawberries are native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.
  • Strawberries are the only fruit with seeds on the outside.
  • The strawberry is not a true berry, but what is known as an aggregate accessory fruit: The fleshy part is derived not from the plant’s ovaries but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. Each “seed” (achene) on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the flower’s ovaries, with a seed inside it.
  • Strawberries do not reproduce with their seeds but via long shoots of new growth.
  • The most widely held view of the origin of the name is that the berries are “strewn” about on the plants. The name “strewn berry” evolved into “strawberry.”
  • The strawberry belongs to the botanical genus Fragraria, which is in the rose family, along with apples and plums. The name of the scientific classification was derived from the Old Latin word for fragrant. The garden strawberry is Fragaria × ananassa.
  • The garden strawberry was first bred in Brittany, France, in the 1750s as a cross of Fragaria virginiana from eastern North America and Fragaria chiloensis, which was brought from Chile in 1714.
  • Strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the spring.
