Strawberry Season Nearing End


This fresh strawberry pie is a once a year indulgence, and made from the Bridgewater berries sold by Valerie Jollimore at the Liverpool Farmer's Market. Note: The recipe for the pie as well as the “stabilized” whipped cream which doesn’t collapse is in the dessert book by Mary Mouzar and Joanne Uhlman.
V.J. is at the market every day except Sunday from 9 am to 5.30 pm.Strawberries this week (July 12 to 18, 2009) are on special at $2.75 per quart box or $32. for a flat of 12 boxes. Enjoy them now because the supply is diminishing.
It is now hodgepodge season and V.J. has all the right ingredients including new small potatoes, regular peas and snow peas, yellow beans and carrots.
