At our local market, I made a friend who was inspired to offer us deals on goodies. I recently bought both of these packages of organic strawberries, (that were already reduced from $5 each to .75). . . for .75! that is an amazing deal. . . I love you Famous foods :)
I promptly chopped them up as I day dreamed of the recipes these summer beauties would inspire.
The first recipe to share will be this one for Strawberry and Lemon rind butter. It is a nice change in the mornings, rather than just plain butter on toast. It adds color, texture and zing to my routine during busy week day mornings.
Ingredients:
2 sticks of organic butter, preferably salted
1 cup of sugar
1 Lemon
Directions:
1) let butter reach room temperature
2) Remove rind from half of one lemon- more or less depending on your taste buds
3) Chop up strawberries in to small chunks
4) Add sugar and lemon rind to bowl of strawberries
5) Add sticks of butter to other ingredients and start to blend with a spatula, or if your like me, go straight to the electric mixer. Mix with electric mixer for 2 minutes, until well blended, light and fluffy.
now for the fun part
6) Lay out a piece of saran wrap and a stretch of tin foil.
7) Spoon out strawberry lemon mixture into a line on the saran wrap
8) Fold it like a burrito, fold the outer edges first, then fold the roll over.
9) Place burrito type shape on top of tin foil, roll it up, and twist the ends in firmly to create a cylinder. place in the freezer for 1- 2 hours.
10) When you are ready to use it, take it out of the freezer, unwrap the part you want to use, cut with a sharp knife, maintaining the round shape for added interest.
11) let it reach room temperature, serve and enjoy!
Notes:
This recipe is great on french toast, and turns everything pink.
Enjoy
