Re: Got a deal on Strawberries - ISO fav recipes

[Guest guest]

I love strawberries, spinach and a little banana. If the strawberries are sweet I skip the banana.I also like almond milk, Plain Greek yogurt and strawberries. There is also a strawberry lime sorbet in the vitamix recipe book that is fabulous.Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 13, 2012, at 2:00 PM, "mariadnoca" <sparkles_95130@...> wrote:

I got one of those getting ready to leave, give you a flat so I don't have to take it home deals at the Farmer's Market...so I've got a LOT of strawberries.

Anyone want to share some favorite combinations/recipes for me to use them up?

Thanks!

A couple of weeks ago I made strawberry cantaloupe ice cream that was really

good, I used fresh strawberries, almond milk and frozen cantaloupe. It was

delicious! Have fun using up your windfall of strawberries. I also recently

made some cashew cream for a dessert and used the rest of it on fresh

strawberries and that was good too.

Cashew Cream

1 cup raw cashews soaked overnight

Drain the nuts and put them into the Vitamix.

Add enough water to cover the nuts.

Add 20 drops of stevia (or to taste)

Add 1 teaspoon vanilla or maybe a little cinnamon.

Blend until smooth.

I pureed a bunch I had (no water, no sugar) and poured into muffin tins. I first

placed plastic wrap on the tins so that I could lift them out easily - just one

sheet long enough to cover 3 holes, and put them in the freezer. Once frozen I

took each puck of strawberry and put them in a ziplock bag. Now I have my frozen

strawberries for smoothies, etc.

I actually did this for a bunch of different fruit I bought at Costco.

Also made syrup out of some fruit - love it!

3 cups of fruit

1/4 cup of sugar

1 tbs of lemon

Run the soup setting (or high for 5 minutes).

Yum! Now you have a sauce that can be used as if it were thin jam.
