Pineberry Topped Vanilla Custard Tart

Our Top 3 Valentine’s Day Recipes

The strawberry has long been viewed as a symbol of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, because of the beautiful color and delicious flavor. Strawberries being red, sweet, and heart-shaped are the perfect complement for Valentine’s Day as we celebrate with the ones we love. But….we are switching it up this year!

With the introduction of our newest berry, Wish Farms Pink-A-Boo® Pineberries, the fruit is perfectly aligned to showcase BIG this Valentine’s Day.  The pinkish-hue gives off the perfect shade for any festive recipe.
