STRAWBERRY SEMIFREDDO GETS SMOKY

My favorite fruit season is here! Strawberry picking and eating season. I’ve worked on a trio of recipes to take full advantage of the short seasonal harvest we have here in Western New York State. My first was a Smoked Strawberry Hand Pie. The second is another dessert option – Creamy Smoked Strawberry Semifreddo. The perfect slice of smoky, cool goodness on a hot day.

Just grab a couple of quarts of fresh strawberries or even store bought when they are out of season in your area and pick your smoke technique: we have three options – the charcoal grill which is how I did my strawberries, the gas grill or the handheld food smoker.
