Strawberry varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common strawberry varieties compare.

VarietyBest for
AlbionFresh eating and freezing: firm, sweet, day-neutral; holds shape sliced.
CamarosaAll-purpose: the large standard supermarket berry, good fresh or baked.
ChandlerJam and fresh: sweet and aromatic, soft when very ripe.
SeascapeFresh and preserves: balanced day-neutral, sweet-tart and juicy.
HoneoyeJam and freezing: early and tart, keeps colour and flavour cooked.
Alpine (Fraises des bois)Garnish and desserts: tiny and intensely fragrant, eaten whole.

Which should I pick?

For fresh eating and shortcake, Albion or Seascape are the pick: sweet, firm, and reliably stocked. No Albion? Camarosa, the large standard supermarket berry, works in any recipe. For jam and freezing, Honeoye or Chandler hold their flavour and aroma when cooked. Alpine strawberries are a garnish, intensely fragrant but too tiny to measure by the cup.
