It's a toss-up between strawberries and peaches when it comes to everyone's favorite summer fruit. Determining my own favorite would require a grudge match between raspberries and blueberries, but that has nothing to do with strawberries....

Strawberries should have a lovely, rich perfume – that smell tells you they are ripe and will taste like sweet, delicious strawberries, no matter what variety of strawberry is before you.
