Soggy strawberries ?

[Deleted User]

Wondered what people do when their strawberries are past their best ? The only thing I know to do with them is to cook them down with a bit of sugar and then put over ice cream.

But, I'm on a diet at the moment so - no ice cream !!

Does anyone-else have any ideas? Cheers.

Iv'e used them in apple and strawberry pies and crumbles.No good for your diet though.

How about with some yoghurt?

Raspberries make a lovely sauce to go over strawberries, so I'm guessing strawberries would make a good sauce to go with raspberries?

Or you could mix them with natural yogurt.

I think they would also work well on scones with cream - but the diet might put an end to that idea.

What about smoothies?

Slice a banana into a blender or food processor and add the strawberries. Whizz until smooth. With the blades whirring, pour in juice or water to make the consistency you like.

We mix them into value yogurts or natural as said above.

We make smoothies with a couple of ripe bananas, some natural yogurt and a good glug of orange juice - at least 2 of your 5-a-day in one helping for 2 people

Smoothies gets my vote.
I usually freeze the strawberries before blending them in if they are a bit on the soft side.

I too would use them in a smoothie, or whooshed up (techy term ):) in some low-fat basic yoghurt (45p a large pot in Mr T)
Or if I was feeling benevolent I smash them all up and mix in plain basic vanilla ice cream for cornets for the kids . My DGS love clapped out strawbobs whipped into cheapo ice cream from icelands.Saves a fortune in the summer holidays:):)
Never waste anything in my house if its at all edible :):)
