The super cool STRAWBERRY trick

I just have to share this trick with you! I learned about it over on Mary’s blog.

First you need strawberries! These are from the Warwick farmer’s market and are really small berries so cutting the stems off would really cut into (so to speak) the meat of the berry quite a bit.

Take a straw and poke it into the bottom of the berry.

Push up until you’ve detached the leafy stem. It should pop right out.

You end up with beautifully cored, stemless berries!

This worked like a charm for these small berries. It cut the prep work down considerably. For big berries you will probably have to give an extra poke or two.

I was making a Strawberry-Rhubarb tart with them, and funnily enough looking back into my blog archives from last year I made the same tart on nearly the exact same day! How strange is that? And again with fresh strawberries and rhubarb from the Warwick farmer’s market! I won’t bore you again with the recipe. If you want it you can follow the link to last year’s post.

Now go and eat some tasty strawberries and use this trick!
