Strawberry Puree

Strawberry Puree

Want something not too sweet and eye catching on top of your brunch or dessert?

This Strawberry Puree is just the delicious addition you are looking for.

I love to top all my cheesecakes that don’t already have something going that would fight the flavor of my dish.

I have used regular fruit, fudge, caramel, crumbs and nuts. But this time I wanted something different.

Something that no other cheesecake I have made has.

And this was it!

These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:

• 1 Pint Ripe strawberries stems removed
• 2 Tbs sugar or honey, as desired, amount as needed.

These are the INSTRUCTIONS For preparation:

• Wash, dry, and stem berries.
• Place in food processor or blender.
• Process until liquid with pulp setting.
• If desired or needed, sweeten with sugar or honey.
• Use as a topping or in recipes calling for puree.

Not only is it not real sweet, it is also an unexpected variation of a classic topping.

When used with a flavor that doesn’t compete, such as any citrus combination, all the flavors of your dish can shine.

The strawberry puree is fast and easy to make. And it also can be combined with chocolate to enhance the flavor and presentation this topping.

Strawberry Puree tastes great on pancakes, waffles, toast, cakes, cheesecake, and more.

You can also use other fresh fruits. Mango, oranges, all types of berries and fruits can be pureed.

The uses are limitless but the reaction will always be the same. Wonder and amazement.

You will take your dish to another level.

And that is what I am all about.

Simple food, quick, easy and inexpensive.

And the best part is not many dishes! Just imagine that!

Just for a moment picture your family coming to the table for a family breakfast or brunch and this puree is topping your main course.

I am sure they will stop and look twice to see what that is!

Or even better. What a statement on your desserts.

Wether you serve at home or take with you to a church diner or family gathering the knowledge you have knocked it out of the park will stay with you a long time.

Everywhere I have taken a dessert with this puree it has been well received.

I am flooded with requests for the recipe.
