Summer is the season of strawberries. The rich red colored fruit shaped like a heart is most delicious when the summer begins, when people are going on vacations and having the time of their lives. It isn't hard to associate strawberries with gentle memories and sweet fun with the people who matter to us. Going to the strawberry patch to pick a bucket of strawberries, strawberries with homemade shortcake, a dish of strawberries plain or with cream, strawberries on vanilla ice cream, strawberry pie, making strawberry jam...all reminders of the early days summer.
Driscoll's added a new innovative flavor to its lineup of strawberries called Tropical Bliss. According to Driscoll's, this strawberry has the classic flavor of sweet berries combined with notes of tropical punch, pineapple, and passionfruit. This berry's flesh is naturally white with yellow hues when it's ripe. The flavor sounds delightful but the color throws me off. Maybe next summer...

Driscolls has a huge farm and development operation just north of Pebble Beach on the Pacific Coast, I drove through it a few years ago.
