We usually have a BBQ to celebrate the 4th of July. This year I found a great deal on raspberries, strawberries and blueberries so I made this great shortcake dessert.
The recipe:
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons sugar
SHORTCAKE:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Dash salt
1/4 cup cold butter
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
Whipped cream, optional
In a small bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries and 2 tablespoons sugar; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine milk and sour cream; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened.
Spread batter into a greased 9-in. pie plate (batter will be thick). Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 350° for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes; cut into six wedges.
Split each wedge in half horizontally. Serve warm with berry mixture; garnish with whipped cream if desired. Serves: 6

I am crazy about strawberries too. Just made fruit pizza with loads of them for July 4th. Kids freaked out first, of course but once when they tasted it, they could not have enough!
