They sure aren't cheap out here. At the farmer's market, they're going for at least $2.50 a basket, some for as much as $4.
I've been buying a basket a week and making Drunken Strawberries with 'em. Hull and cut into chunks, put 'em in a bowl, sprinkle liberally with sugar and let sit for a couple of hours. Then pour in enough red wine to cover. Add sugar to taste and let 'em soak overnight. (You can either put them in the fridge or leave them out. I find they get more thoroughly happy if you leave 'em out.)
They're great as a topping for ice cream or yogurt, or just good by themselves. After I eat the strawberries, I bottle the wine to add to fruit juice. A nice big dash in a glass of OJ is divine.
