I've always liked strawberries but it turns out the seeds were triggering my diverticulitis. Oh well. I used to eat them all winter long.
Wishing you all a way to "keep ahead of the curves" life throws at you.
I hit 50 and my body said...let's put on weight! It didn't help that I'm on meds that contribute weight! Gah! Love strawberries! Got some downstairs in the fridge. We got 2 quarts of Ontario strawberries. Tis the season. Nice and sweet!

Hi Pixipixil, I can't eat them either, for the same reason. Most annoying, cause I love them! Never mind, maybe one day!

Pixi, several companies make a line of seedless jams and jellies - Smuckers comes to mind. My MIL had the same problem, so we always found the seedless treats for her.

Glenelle all this stuff forces one to look for alternatives. Hope you find some other compatible fruit to replace them. I am eating cherries now but they are only around in the summer.

While you've got cherries available, pixi, throw some in the freezer in plastic bags so you can enjoy them later. Frozen, they make a sweet, cold treat in the wintertime.

I just bought a bag of beautiful, "sweet" cherries that are a gorgeous dark red and as sour as a lemon. I don't get why things just don't taste like they used to. I loved eating them like candy but these make my mouth pucker. :-(

Pixi, so many of our fruits and veggies have been cross-bred so they keep longer for shipping. In doing so, we've lost a lot of flavor.
Strawberry shortcake, strawberry banana bread, strawberry milkshake, strawberry pie, strawberry Chantilly, strawberry tarts, strawberries sliced with a hint of sugar, strawberry scones, strawberry cheesecake, Oh, and did I mention I like strawberries!!!
Hope ya'll have a berry wonderful weekend.
