Sorry, for no post lately life has been kind of
crazy. But were back and are ready to satisfy your need for food and knowledge!
Well it’s getting towards the end of spring and if
you haven’t done so it’s the perfect time to go get some strawberries and go
country kitchen crazy. I don’t know wither you have ever gone and picked your
own but they just seem to taste better but don’t worry if going to the grocery
store is enough adventure for you these recipes will work just the same. Happy sweets!
One of my favorites! Homemade strawberry ice cream but its best to wait until 4th
of July for that one. Although it’s always a good time for delicious.
“Strawberry
Glaze Pie” (Dilday)
1 qt. fresh strawberries
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
Red Food Color (wife’s allergic so I skip this)
1cup sugar1cup water
1 cooked pie shell
To save time you can just use a box cake mix of either
white or yellow cake.
Bake cake in 2 – 9” pans then cut each layer in half
so that you have 4 equal layers of cake.Now you will need a large bowl of strawberries all sliced and ½ cup of sugar sprinkled over them to create juice.
I like to make my own whipped cream but if you prefer
cool whip that’s fine too.
To assemble place one layer of cake then add
strawberries with juice. Top with a layer of whipped cream and some fresh
strawberries then add your next layer of cake and repeat until you reach the
top. (I like to leave the sides naked so you can see the delicious layers but
decorating is up to you.
Just be creative my wife likes to add a base layer
of dried meringue for an airy crunch. Or she’ll use mini bunt pans so everyone
can have a little cake of their own. Or for a fun treat add ice cream and make
it an ice cream cake.
