Many years ago strawberries could only be brought in the summer months of June and early July. Now farmers have cultivated them to grow until August in the UK. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad idea. It does mean that we can eat British strawberries for a longer period. That means I get to make delicious recipes like this one towards then end of summer. We love this dessert and I hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Roasted Strawberry and Cream was a delicious dessert we all enjoyed. It was easy to prepare and cook. Plus you can eat this dessert hot or cold. It can also be made and frozen for another occasion.
