The heat has arrived and, with it, prime berry season.

Thanks to tons of research, hard work, time, and monetary investments, Well•Pict Berries are now available for purchase year-round. With this major advancement in harvesting from our team of independent growers, we’ve been thrilled to suggest berry recipes that can work well with autumn and winter meal-prepping, including our favorite ideas for everything from football party appetizers to main course Christmas dinners. Still, there is nothing like the refreshing taste of one of our crisp, cold berries on a hot summer day. There is just something about summer and strawberries that goes hand in hand. Sometimes, pulling a handful of berries out of one of our clamshells is satisfying enough. But here are some of our favorite summer berry recipes for those times you feel like putting something on the grill, entertaining guests, or relaxing by the pool.

Grilled Strawberries

America has an obsession with grilling. We do it for veggies and meat all the time. Of course it would stand to reason that grilling would be a tasty way to prepare fruit as well. This Grilled Strawberry recipe from Genius Kitchen is just one of many recipes available on the web that is super simple, yet so satisfying.

Frozen Strawberry Squares

The only taste we think is better than warm strawberries is cold ones. This light and refreshing dessert from Amy at She Wears Many Hats is the perfect way to end a summer barbecue or celebrate a summer birthday. We dare you to eat just one piece. Actually, no we don’t. Where would the fun be in that?

Easy Frozen Strawberry Yogurt

Speaking of cold dishes…this four-ingredient recipe from Just a Taste only takes five minutes to put together and is a healthy alternative to ice cream. Your tastebuds will never know it, though.

Well•Pict Roasted Strawberry Chicken Burgers

Most all Americans love burgers, but not the excessive amount of calories they can add to your daily intake. We set out to come up with a healthier alternative to typical beef burgers- something that would still taste as good and feel as classically American as the real thing. Sharon Burley at Feast Kitchen helped us create the recipe for these delicious Roasted Strawberry Chicken Burgers made with Well•Pict Berries. Serve these babies at your next backyard dinner party and we’re certain your guests will be asking for more.
