If I had to pick a favorite fruit, it would have to be strawberries. I love their sweetness, fragrance, the beautiful red color, and the tiny, crunchy seeds. My mother used to slice strawberries, making sure to carefully remove the stem at the top, place a little sugar over them, and stir, creating a sweet and juicy mix of strawberries that she would place in a bowl with flowers along the edge. Now that it's spring again, I'm starting to see strawberries in the produce section of markets, and have an inkling to drive up to a fruit stand I saw a few months ago in Calabasas, right up the ridge from the ocean in Malibu, or go to the Santa Monica Sunday Farmer's Market. According to this link, strawberries fall under "What's Fresh", along with tangerines, asparagus, artichokes, cherries, fava beans, blueberries, green garlic, avocados, fresh herbs, radishes, and cherimoyas. Such are the sweet rewards of California in the springtime.
