Kathleen in VA Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have some strawberries that are just a teeny past their prime. I have a recipe for "fruit" crisp which normally I would make with apples or blueberries, but am wondering if it is acceptable to use strawberries in a recipe like this. It is your standard crisp recipe with flour, butter, brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon mixed together for a topping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Yup. I've made them with all sorts of berries, including bumbleberry - aka left overs in the freezer :) If they look too runny once sliced up (I would slice big ones), then I add a bit of cornstarch.

StephanieZ Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 You could also just blend the strawberries up with a bit of sugar and a touch of lemon juice and then strain the mush through a fine strainer. . . And have a spectularly yummy sauce for something chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some strawberries like that and could add some blueberries to it too..... Dd17 vetoed strawberry cobbler so, no, I didn't make it. I have tons of blueberries in the freezer, though, so will probably get around to trying it with those later this week. Dd said strawberries should be eaten fresh, not cooked. Oh, well.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I had a bunch of extra berries, and I made a cobbler with mostly strawberries with blueberries mixed in, and it was surprisingly good. I am not much into the idea of cooked strawberries, but I almost couldn't tell what berry it was. I freeze them for smoothies or make a quick jam (which is cooked!) with extra strawberries. Otherwise maybe strawberry shortcake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwenhwyfar Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 "Rhubarb Crisp" is really good too - I've never made it myself, but my mother does. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise maybe strawberry shortcake? I ended up just sprinkling some sugar over them and serving them in dessert cups with some whipped cream. I will have to remember to freeze them next time, because I love smoothies. Not sure why that didn't occur to me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'm not sure I would like cooked strawberries, so I would say "no" to the cobbler idea. However, fresh strawberry pie is outstanding and you don't cook it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Fresh strawberry pie is wonderful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
