Today I went strawberry picking.....
With the gorgeous strawberries I managed to not eat whilst picking I thought I would share with you one of my favourite, but simple recipes.....
For 'Strawberry Blossoms' you will need.....
12 Large Strawberries
2oz of softened Cream Cheese (I buy mine fresh from the farm shop but Philadelphia is nice too)
2tbsp Icing Sugar
1tbsp Soured Cream
Method - Remove stems from strawberries to form a flat base. Place berries on cutting surface, pointed end facing up. With a sharp knife, carefully slice each berry in half vertically to within a 1/4 inch of base. Cut each half into three wedges to form 6 petals. (Don't slice through the base.) Pull petals apart slightly. In a small bowl combine cream cheese, icing sugar and sour cream, beat until light and fluffy. With a pastry bag and star tip or small spoon fill strawberries with the cream cheese mixture..... Yummy!.....
With the rest I have made Smoothies.....
