Marcus Nilsson3/46Roasted Strawberry-Buttermilk Sherbet
Roasting the strawberries intensifies their flavor—a great trick to have up your sleeve if you're buying them out of season.
Alex Lau4/46Strawberry Milk
The strawberry syrup in this recipe is perfect for topping ice cream and yogurt, or mix about 3 Tbsp. into room-temperature butter for spreading onto biscuits, pancakes, and French toast.

6/46Plum Semifreddo
When folding the plum purée into the semifreddo base, don't overdo it. There should be large ribbons of purée visible; that's how this dessert gets its pink marbled look.

Peden & Munk8/46Rhubarb-Fennel Gin Cocktail
If it grows together, it goes together: Sweet and sour from the rhubarb and herbaceous from the fennel, this drink is pure harmony.
