Strawberry recipes

2 ways through a glut of strawberry, which is ready now. Sides, mains, preserves for the ones you can't eat fast enough.

Strawberry Conserve

A proper British strawberry conserve where the fruit is kept in generous whole pieces suspended in a clear, brilliantly flavoured jelly — a step above an ordinary jam. The method of macerating the fruit overnight with sugar draws out the juices and protects the berry's structure during cooking, giving a preserve with real elegance. Spread thickly on warm scones with clotted cream.

Strawberry Pavlova

A classic British strawberry pavlova with a crisp meringue shell, a marshmallow-soft centre, clouds of whipped cream and a generous tumble of fresh strawberries on top. It is the celebration dessert that never goes out of style and is almost universally loved. Make the meringue base ahead so that assembly on the day takes just a few minutes.
