LANCASTER The hot, muggy weather that had many of us melting last week has ripened the hard, green strawberries into irrestible red, plump and juicy ones. Now is the time to enjoy those delicious berries that are coming on with such abundance. If you’re beginning to tire of strawberry shortcake, don’t despair; there are plenty of other ways to enjoy strawberries. You could try a six-layer Strawberry Chantilly made with layers of pie crust and strawberries and cream. But if you’re watching your figure now that the bathing suit season has arrived, a Fruit Platter Pie or a Red, White and Blue Salad are options you might want to pursue. A Fresh Fruit Tart made with pudding, whipped topping and fruit, would make the perfect end to a special summer meal. For a more traditional, but equally delicious dessert, try a fresh strawberry pie.
