National Strawberry Day: Top 10 Strawberry Recipes

February 27 is National Strawberry Day. Strawberries are the perfect fruit for making preserves, fruit juices, pies, ice creams, milkshakes, chocolates and more. Many enjoy this fruit mainly for its scent, bright red color, juiciness and sweetness.

Artificial strawberry scents and flavorings are used for many products including lip glosses, candies, hand sanitizer, perfumes, candles and much more.

Strawberries were brought into North America in the 1750s as a gift from Chile.

Strawberries can be grown/bought fresh, or bought frozen or dried. Winter is strawberry season. Nearly 300 million pounds of strawberries are grown in central Florida, due to its perfect climate for harvesting the fruit, and shipped around the world. Plant City, FL is named the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World.

With spring approaching quickly, it's best to enjoy this fruit while it's in season and at a great price.

In honor of national strawberry day, here are the top 10 recipes incorporating strawberries that you can make for yourself or for others.
