It's what I like to call 'Heaven in a Jar'. If you ever have an overabundance of strawberries, or just a hankering for something heavenly to spread on your toast, please, please, please make this. It's fresh strawberry spread from Dinner: A Love Story. We've been buying the sweetest strawberries from the market on Saturday and they've been cheap as they're starting to go bad. We sort through the strawberries, discard the truly horrible ones, put the edible ones in a container for general consumption and the sad looking ones go into another container to be made into true goodness. True to form, I don't exactly follow the recipe as it's more:
- As many bad strawberries are left, topped and chopped
- About 1/3 cup of sugar
- Whatever lemon juice unfreezes from the bag I keep on the fridge in time to be used (maybe 2 tablespoons?)
We've made this twice and it gets gobbled up pretty quickly. We've had it on scones, toast, sandwiches and yogurt. Mmmmm.
And the best way to clean up the blender? Throw in:- 1 frozen banana
- Milk
- Yogurt
- Honey (we only have honeycomb at the moment so the bottom of the drink becomes a little waxy!)
H-h-h-heaven.

Yum yum it sounds very good. No strawberries worth mushing here at present. xxx
ooh, yum I would like some in milk! I went to try and buy some strawberry flavouring at New World...they only sell it in litre bottles and wanted $14.99 for it! Yeh right! You read it correctly - 15 bucks for some flavouring!! What a joke! Bring on summer and I can make my own too!!!
very nice.
And no preservatives.
We are nearly preservative free here so that recipe will come in handy for summer on our home made icecream in a can.
