Strawberries are often associated with the Australian summer, but there’s actually a winter season for this fruit as well.
In the chilly temperatures of winter you may not feel like a strawberry ice-cream, parfait or tiramisu. But don’t worry, these recipes are geared towards the season, with puddings, cakes and crumbles. Plus a delicious rhubarb and strawberry jam recipe.
