  • DELICIOUS STRAWBERRIES
    Fresh ruby red strawberries give your taste buds a treat. The juice is sweet and tantalizing.
    Even the aroma of fresh berries excites the palate and prepares the way for a great adventure in eating.

    Try some of these recipes as you partake of a fruit that is luscious, beautiful in color, and heavenly in any menu plan.

    ENJOY!


    BASKET OF FRUIT

    2 cups fresh, hulled strawberries

    1 cantaloupe

    1 pineapple

    2 cups blueberries

    3 kiwi fruit

    1 banana

    2 oranges

    Sauce:

    1 egg

    1 tbs. lime juice

    1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed please

    1/2 cup orange juice

    1 cup sugar

    Prepare the sauce: Beat the egg. Place in a pan with the lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and stir gently for 1 minute. Set aside to cool.

    Remove the rind from the cantaloupe, and cut into bite-size pieces. Do the same with the pineapple, kiwi fruit, banana (dipped in a little lemon juice to avoid discoloration), and oranges. Wash the strawberries before they are hulled.

    Wash the blueberries in cold water. Place in a clear glass bowl so your guests can admire the colors. Pour the sauce over the fruit but do not stir. Allow to stand for 2-1/2 hours before serving. Stir very gently just before serving.

    LAYERED STRAWBERRY DESSERT

    2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced

    1 cup sugar

    1/4 cup cornstarch

    2 1/2 tbs. strawberry “jello” powder

    1 cup cold water

    1 3/4 cups cold milk

    1 pkg. instant vanilla pudding

    5 cups cubed angel food cake

    2 1/2 cups whipped heavy cream

    In a pan combine the “jello” powder, sugar and cornstarch. Slowly add the water and stir
    until smooth. Bring to a boil, cook, stirring constantly, until syrup has thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in the strawberry slices and set aside.

    In a mixer, combine the cold milk and the pudding mix. Beat on low for 2 1/2 minutes,
    until thickened. Set aside.

    In a clear glass bowl (to allow the colors to show) place half of the angel food cubes.
    Also pour one-half of the pudding over the cubes, then one-half of the strawberry
    mixture, topped with one-half of the whipped heavy cream. Repeat the process.
    Garnish with slivers of chocolate.

    Your guests will feel the luxury with every bite.

    **********************

    FRUITY SUMMER DESSERT

    1 pkg. white cake mix

    1/2 cup strawberry preserves (not jelly or jam)

    12 strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced

    1-2 fresh peaches, sliced thinly

    1 cup peach preserves

    1/2 cup whipped topping


    Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 13/x9/2”pan. Prepare white cake mix per package
    instructions and bake.

    Split cake in half horizontally. Place bottom cake layer on serving plate. Spread this layer with strawberry preserves. Place top layer of cake over strawberry preserves. Score the top of the cake with knife to mark 24 servings. Alternate fresh strawberries with peach
    slices on alternate blocks. (Quilt design)

    Heat the peach preserves and strain. Brush the fruit with the warmed glaze. Garnish with whipped topping and curled chocolate strip.

    ************************

    STRAWBERRY BAVARIAN CREME ELEGANTE

    1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced

    2 envelopes unflavored gelatin

    1/2 cup sugar

    In pan, combine the sugar, chocolate chips and 1/2 cups milk. Cook gently over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is very smooth and hot. Add the gelatin mixture, stirring constantly, until gelatin is completely dissolved and the entire mixture is integrated.
    Remove from heat, add remaining milk and vanilla. Pour into bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hr.
    Check to see if mixture mounds when dropped from spoon. If not, continue keeping in refrigerate and repeat checking.
    Using a mixer, beat the heavy cream until stiff; fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepared mold and refrigerate 3 hrs. Unmold and garnish with strawberry cream.
    Creme: 1/2 pint cold heavy whipping cream

    1 tsp. vanilla extract, 2-3 drops red food coloring

    Mash refrigerated strawberries. Using mixer, beat whipping cream and vanilla until stiff. Fold in mashed strawberries and red food coloring. (Use enough coloring to give a pretty pink hue to the mixture.)

    New: Slightly Amish Basket Quilt Pattern

    Make 15" square basket quilt blocks in traditional Amish style, or vary your fabrics for a slightly Amish look. The quilt block pattern includes instructions for single quilt blocks (perfect for scrap quilts), but on page 3 you'll find directions to help you make the 63" x 63" quilt illustrated here.

    Amish Style Miniature Quilt Pattern
    Here's a little miniature quilt, a double nine-patch sewn in the Amish style. The quilt finishes at about 25-1/2" square. You can make it much scrappier if you like, and you can go wild with color combinations to brighten it up. Do what feels right to you.

    Miniature Bear's Paw Quilt Pattern

    This little quilt measures about 19-inches square. It's made from four 3-1/2-inch Bear's Paw quilt blocks that are surrounded by cornerstones and pieced sashing. A dark inner border and a floral outer border complete the little quilt.

    Everything is quick and strip-pieced. Half square triangle units used in blocks finish at 1/2", but you can make them perfectly every time but assembling the units slightly larger than necessary and then cutting each one back to the exact size before sewing.

    Summertime Baskets Block in Two Sizes: 20" and 10"

    I love it when the native plants are blooming like crazy and blossoms and fruit are in motion. And it's an incredible sight to gaze out across the Blue Ridge Mountains in the spring to watch the progression of green as it moves higher in elevation. I call that progress greening up the mountain, and have thought forever that the theme would make a good landscape quilt. I even started a miniature version years ago in a class with Jo Diggs, and rediscovered the project awhile back when we unpacked some boxes. Now I just have to find the time to work on it.

    Spring and summer always brings out the basket blocks, too. This version is in the deeper colors of summer, but would work well with any theme. I think it would be lovely sewn with solid fabrics in the Amish tradition, even if you decide to add some reds and other zesty colors we don't typically see in traditional Amish quilts. I've included instructions for two blocks sizes, a 20" and a 10". Choose whichever works for you.

    On the About.com Network

    Since we're talking about baskets and flowers, take a look at the decoupaged garden seed container on our Family Crafts site. Sherri's come up with a cute and useful project for your gardening friends.

    A Joyous Celebration Mini Quilt Pattern

    Speed piecing techniques make stitching this little quilt a breeze. The light fabric that surrounds the stars blends with the pictorial angel fabric used in the center of the snowball blocks, giving the snowballs an on-point appearance even though all blocks are sewn together side by side. The quilt measures 29-1/2" square.

    Catching the View Quilt Pattern

    The three kitty cats in this quilt are peering through windows at all the summer flowers outside, and you can bet they're keeping an eye on the butterflies flying around the garden. This has been a popular pattern with readers, and although it does have set-in seams at the mitered frames, it is not difficult to assemble.

    Star Quilt Patterns

    Patchwork star quilt designs are an all-time favorite, so you'll find star patterns scattered throughout the About.com Quilting Web site. I've linked to several choices below, but there are more. The list includes blocks and quilts in a range of sizes, starting at 6" square (you'll find a few options for smaller blocks) and moving upwards. Star blocks are the perfect starting point for holiday quilts -- just change the fabrics to make any pattern to suit your needs.

    Star quilts are often made up of half square triangle units, a popular quilting component that you'll encounter often. Use my  triangle squares tutorial to learn an easy (and accurate) construction method.

    Domino Quilt Block & Quilt Pattern

    The Domino quilt block finishes at 9" square, with small units that are a nice size for baby and toddler quilts, but perfectly fine for a bed-sized quilts, too. The Domino quilt block pattern includes instructions for making a single quilt block, for those of you who like to go scrappy, plus directions for 20-strip pieced Dominos. The 20 blocks can be used in the Domino baby quilt shown on page 4 of the pattern, or in another quilt of your own design.

    Before beginning, new quilters should make sure they're okay with sewing a quarter inch seam and with rotary cutting long strips of fabric.

    Attic Ribbons Quilt Pattern

    Attic Ribbons is a 70" x 94" quilt made from 12" Attic Windows quilt blocks. Some of the blocks feature applique motifs, but you can eliminate the applique if you wish, or use one of my easy suggestions to simplify construction while still adding a bit of variety to the windows. Use different colors to create your own unique theme, and sew fewer or more blocks to alter its finished size.

    Setting-in is not a difficult method -- do give it a try.

    Greek Cross Quilt Block & Quilt Pattern

    Greek Cross quilt blocks are all about color value, and you can dramatically alter their appearance by shifting value positions within the block. I've included a quilt layout suggestion (along with yardages and extra instructions, of course) and drawings that illustrate value variations. Greek Cross is such a simple block, but it can be either traditional or dramatic, depending on your fabric choices.
