Strawberry BBQ Meatballs
What’s red, juicy, ripe, in season and oh so delicious? Florida Strawberries of course!

We all enjoy strawberry desserts like Strawberry Pie , Strawberry Crumb Bars and Strawberry Fritters .

Strawberries are so easy to prepare with no peeling or searching out seeds, so why stop with desserts?
It’s easy to add flavor and nutrition to your favorite dishes with fresh from Florida Strawberries.
I love to toss a few in salads. What would spinach salad be without strawberries?

Refreshing low-cal strawberry smoothies top my list of fruit drinks. A little low-fat yogurt, strawberries, skim milk, ice and a drizzle of honey is all you need. Summer anytime!

Florida strawberries are a natural in hot cereals and yogurt parfaits for a breakfast packed with Vitamin C, folate, manganese and antioxidants.
Did you know 8 medium strawberries (about a cup) equal your daily requirement of vitamin C for under 50 calories?

The natural sweetness of strawberries lends a bright taste to chicken, fish and meat dishes. I pair strawberries and chicken in a Strawberry Pineapple Chicken Salad any time of year.

Florida Strawberries also make great sauces for fish. Strawberry and Balsamic reduction is so good over grilled or baked salmon. We drool at the thought of it!

One of my favorite dishes is Strawberry BBQ Meatballs. Florida Strawberries flavored sauce soaks into the meatballs giving off a sweet and tangy taste in every bite! I use a blend of beef, pork and veal for the meatballs. Serve these moist, plump meatballs over multi-grain rice or pasta.
