Walking the line between tart and sweet, strawberries are always a delight to munch on. They are even better, however, when transformed into baked goods and other delicious treats. Many people never go beyond strawberry shortcake in their creations — but you can with these awesome recipes.  <\/p>\n

Strawberry Shortbread Bars<\/h2>\n

Move over shortcake! Shortbread bars are here to elevate the flavor of strawberries in ways you have only imagined. To make these bars, you will need:<\/p>\n

\n
• 3 1\/2 cups flour<\/li>\n
• 1\/2 cup cornstarch<\/li>\n
• 2 cups butter<\/li>\n
• 1 cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n
• 1\/2 cup strawberry puree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy. In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch and flour. Then, slowly add the flour and cornstarch to the butter mixture while mixing on low.<\/p>\n

  Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan and pour in the shortbread batter. In a decorative design, pour the strawberry puree over the top and swirl it with a butter knife. Bake for 45 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Slice into generous pieces after the shortbread has cooled a bit but is still warm.<\/p>\n

  Pickled Strawberries<\/h2>\n

  Although it might seem strange, pickling your strawberries seals in the freshness and builds on their bold flavors. To accomplish this feat, gather up:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • 4 cups strawberries<\/li>\n
  • 1 1\/2 cups balsamic vinegar<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup sugar<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Wash the strawberries and remove the stems and leaves. Stack the prepared whole strawberries in one-quart jars, stopping just before the rim. Using a medium saucepan, cook the balsamic vinegar, white sugar and salt over medium-high heat. Stir frequently to help the sugar and salt fully dissolve. Once the mixture boils, remove the saucepan from the heat. Next, pour the mixture into the strawberry-filled jars. Let the jars cool, and put a lid on the strawberries. They keep in the fridge for about five days.<\/p>\n
