One of the first folk tales I remember hearing was at summer camp when I was little. The tale is an old Cherokee story about how the first strawberries came into the world.

It\u2019s a special treat they are allowed to indulge in when strawberries are at their ripest. My daughter delights in the process of dipping and swirling the berries around and my son is filled with unabashed joy that brown sugar is one of the ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/juniorkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMhdhuh.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1548\" alt=\"IMhdhuh\" src=\"http:\/\/juniorkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMhdhuh.jpg\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juniorkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMhdhuh.jpg 333w, https:\/\/juniorkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/IMhdhuh-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Ingredients <\/strong><br \/>\nLovely ripe strawberries<br \/>\nA small container of sour cream<br \/>\nSpoonfuls of brown sugar<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Wash the strawberries and let them dry.
