Strawberry Cooking Session

I have recently discovered a Farmers market near Stirling (opposite IKEA. Look it up here. I have been going for a few weeks now on Sundays and every week I come home with 2 bags full of fresh local vegetables and other goodies (raw juices, eggs, bread, nitrate free bacon, bee pollen, honey and much other produce!).

This week they had huge trays of strawberries on special - 1 for $10 and 2 for $15. I could not resist their smell and bought a tray. Then it hit me that there is only 2 of us at my house and I would have to find a few different ways to use them up!

So below are a few examples on what to do when you have too many strawberries!

Strawberry Coulis

4-5 cups of fresh strawberries

juice of 1 lemon

juice of 1 orange

1 tsp vanilla paste

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp chia seeds

(add more for a more Jam-like consistency)

-simmer on low for 20/25 min

I also froze some into Ziplock bags to use in my smoothies later on.

RAW STRAWBERRY ICE-CREAM

makes 4

3 cups of strawberries

1 banana

1/2 cup raw cashews

1 tsp vanilla paste

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tbsp honey

2 tbsp coconut (optional)

- mix all ingredients in a food processor

- put in freezer for 4h
