Strawberry season is here (and almost gone, I'm afraid). I love strawberries. I love them fresh, I love them mashed, I love them on shortcake. That brings me to what works for me. I think this is something my Mom did, so maybe a lot of people do this, but when I am ready to prepare strawberries for shortcake, I hull and wash them. I then use a pastry blender to slice them. It cuts through them easily and the berries don't seem to get stuck on it like they do when I use a masher. Try it and enjoy your shortcake while you can!
