There is a PYO near me and am thinking if I can get a lift to it I will do a sauces (lots and lots) for Ice Cream or to put on............any ideas? Want to go to this PYO as I am unable to bend my knee properly at the moment and there in raised beds ie at waist height. Give me something to do untill I am better. PS when will the strawberry season end.......given the present weather. I live on the Lincolnshire Wolds. Thanks JB
I just boil up the strawberries and I shall freeze that. I have also dried quite a few but then again I haven't had much time to do much else with them.
I made a fantastic blackcurrant and strawberry cordial with black pepper that was approved of by a couple of American teenagers and my hubby. No mean feat!
Recipe was
1lb of blackcurrants
1lb of strawberries
12oz of sugar
2 tsps of black pepper.
Layered in a steamer and steamed for one hour then siphoned off into hot sterilsed jars
I was surprised that hubby and the girls liked it as we found that many foods, even the bread, in America tasted too sweet and so he doesn't do sweet but loved the taste of this.
