Too Many Strawberries!

No, just send them to me!

Oh! Strawberry coulis! Have you a recipe?
I grow lots of raspberries and would like to make coulis with them!

Strawberry wine is lovely.

ooh strawberry wine - sound delicious! Where can one buy this?

Too many strawberries - not possible!

I should have said home made strawberry wine dorset

oh home made - must take masses of strawberries to make - I'll just have dream about it.

Hmm thanks Notsogrand, but it looks a bit fiddly and since OH would rather be fried in oil than drink strawberry wine, I think I'll give that one a miss.

How often do you change the oil you fry him in?

Not often, but I make sure it is always extra virgin and cold-pressed...

Strawberry liqueur is less faffy to make than the wine and it's ready to drink much sooner. Tell OH it's cough medicine.

Never ever ever too many Strawberries do you want to come to our party to-night and we will sample the goods ??

Yes I was going to bring a large box of them. Please organise the cream though because French cream is not up to the job.

Oh that is no problem I will wizz down to Morrissons on my way out and park the broomstick on the slipway down to the River then I can get an easy getaway its all downhill so a swift takeoff can be assured.(landing safely though is another matter altogether)

I like homemade jam. Much more tasty than shop bought,

We should arrange a north/south swap. My strawberries are not ripe yet, here in the cold north, but they will ripen when your glut is over. Shame we cannot just PM them!

It's a myth that you can't freeze strawberries .Spread out on a tray and freeze.OK they collapse when defrosted but can still be used for coulis,jam, etc or for last minute decoration of e.g trifle.
Can't have too many strawberries.

I use the tray method too, same for raspberries. If you defrost overnight/slowly in the fridge, they hold their shape much better.

Used to have a recipe for freezer strawberry jam. You add far less sugar than usual and keep it frozen in small quantities until you need to use it. Absolutely delicious!

Does that one have Certo in it? Mine does. It still comes out runny though, (once you defrost it, that is)

I don't freeze strawberries whole. I purée them first and then freeze the purée in small containers. It makes lovely fruit yoghurt for my breakfast or can be used with ice cream.

That's what I do!
