Has anyone made the Strawberry Slice from this book! Worth giving a go! We always have a huge glut of berries so looking for something a bit more exciting than just with cream/icecream or balsamic. Thanks!

You make it and report back. Strawberries are only $2.00 a chip at the moment, We only eat them fresh.

Another thing you could do with your strawberry glut if you can't eat them all fresh, is to make stewed rhubarb and strawberry.Cut young rhubarb stalks into inch long chunks.Add sugar to the pan and gently cook till the rhubarb is soft.Don't walk away from the stove as the pan may "catch' with the sugar in the recipe.Just before the rhubarb has completely softened, stir in some strawbs (cut up if big ones).Leave to cool.I put it into pots to freeze.When strawb season has finished, it is nice to have on muesli and yoghurt for breakfast.

I make strawberry jam - made 5 jars last night and had some on toast this morning, really yummy and always a good wee gift for people as well. Fresh Strawberries and custard are my favourite. you could alway freeze the excess and use them in cooking during the winter for pies, slices, etc
Try this Strawberry Pickle
Ingredients:
5 large strawberries (adjust the amount to fit the jar used)
1 green banana pepper
1 1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
Sterilized Jar with lid
Method:
Wash strawberry and pepper in running water and pad dry.
Arrange strawberries and pepper in the clean jar.
Combine water, vinegar, salt and sugar in a medium pot and bring to boil. Allow to boil for 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let it cool down.
Once the solution cool down, pour it in the jar. Strawberries and pepper should submerge in the liquid.
Close the jar and keep aside for 3 days.
Refrigerate after opening.

Half-dipped in dark chocolate, with the green tops left on, they make a brilliant Christmas gift for friends and neighbours.
