Lucky you! I'll think of some, just give me time! I've got to

get out back and thin them out so we get a decent crop this year. They're getting covered over with grass.

Don't forget strawberry milkshakes!

Just pop them in the blender with a little vanilla ice cream and milk to thin, I did this a little while back and it made me so happy! It's good too when they are getting a little past their prime. Add a little rum or something for an adult dessert!

Or strawberry smoothies- ice, skim milk maybe some mint or a banana. Yum!

p.s. my girlfriend grew up with it stirred into the fruit, so the sauce turned kinda pink

Dawn_MO, didn't you have a similar one? I'd never heard of this before - interesting! Must try

Sigh - I think I'm too late. Only have a few berries, but they are very sweet. REC Yogurt Smoothie

Not very original, but I've usually only seen it made with milk. Yogurt seems like a good choice for a little thicker smoothie.

Makes 2+ cups

1/2 cup orange juice (fresh-squeezed if possible)
1/2 cup strawberries
1 whole ripe banana, peeled and cut in 2-inch chunks
1 container (6 oz) vanilla or plain yogurt

Puree juice, fruit, and yogurt in a blender on HIGH for 30 seconds, until smooth. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a few blueberries.

Meryl, when you put it into the spring-form pan, so you make a graham cracker crust under it?

 

[meryl]

Yes.
