Response to Sweetest variety of Strawberries?

I'm also in Zone 5, central Missouri, and I really like Cardinal. They get red to the heart if you are sure the tips of the berry ripe and they don't require much sweetening. They make good runner growth, almost too good. I started on a site where I had spread fresh manure the fall before then in the early spring I planted 2 rows of 25 plants each. I had all we cared to eat fresh, about 35 pints sliced and frozen with a little sugar, about 3 gallons to make jam and invited several neighbors to come pick all they wanted. Good luck with yours.
