At this time of the year, I'm looking for things to do with fresh fruit and produce. Here are a few recipes from my Mama using strawberries... her favorite!
2 sticks Butter, softened
1 cup 10X Sugar
16 oz fresh Strawberries*
Blend in a blender or processor until very smooth. Store in refrigerator.
*Remember to always taste your berries for sweetness. Some may need more sugar than others.
Fresh Strawberry Dressing
¾ cup sliced ripe Strawberries
2 T light corn syrup
½ cup Sour Cream
Add ingredients to small blender. Mix til smooth. Chill about 1 hour.
Serve over fruit salad. Make about 1 ¼ cups.

Spread cream cheese over the bottom of the pie crust. Select half of the best strawberries and press firmly into the cheese with tips up. Mash remaining berries and strain. Add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups liquid. Mix sugar and cornstarch in saucepan. Gradually stir in berries and juice. Cook over low heat until thick and clear (5 to 6 minutes).
