I love the summer season, which brings me, to my immense delight, a magnificent and abundant variety of fruits and vegetables. This abundance feeds my artistic side, fills my head with tasty recipes and satisfies my heart.<\/p>\n
I love how simple it is to transform strawberries with just a few ingredients and a little time. So here are a few recipes borrowed from here and there:<\/p>\n
First of all, you need a good variety of strawberries, and lots of them. To make my recipes, I bought a well-stocked tray (better known as a crate). I washed the strawberries in water, then hulled and sorted them by size.<\/p>\n
The first step is to set the strawberry tails aside in a container to make the strawberry water and jelly, which consists of adding 1 cup of water to 4 cups of strawberry tails and 1\/4 cup of sugar (I stay away from refined white sugar). Stir lightly and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours. We’ll come back to this later…<\/p>\n
You’ll need sugar, either maple or cane, a few cups to make the 5 recipes. You’ll also need one or two coarsely ground long peppercorns or dune peppercorns.<\/p>\n
Strawberry syrup: Take 2lbs ripe strawberries cut in half, 1 1\/2 cups sugar and 4 cups water. Put into a saucepan and boil for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
Strawberry Tomb\u00e9e: The aim here is to reduce whole strawberries, water and sugar to a syrupy consistency.<\/p>\n
Strawberry jam, maple sugar and long pepper: cut strawberries into 4, add water, maple sugar and long pepper at the end of cooking.<\/p>\n
Strawberry water: after chilling time (as indicated above), strain the liquid through a fine sieve or absorbent cotton. At this stage, the madness sets in, you have to taste and let yourself be inspired by the thousand and one avenues, such as: making ice cubes for drinks, jelly for desserts, as an accompaniment to aperitifs, as it is in juice to flavour sparkling water, to add to a simple vinaigrette…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
