[net.cooks] Strawberry Delight

gkloker@utai.UUCP (Geoff Loker) (07/19/85)

Strawberry Delight is a perfect dessert for the summer -- light and cool.
If you don't want to surround the finished product with strawberry puree,
2 cups of berries will approximately provide the 1 cup of puree required
for the recipe.  If you want to add some extra puree to the recipe, feel
free to -- it won't ruin it.  Enjoy.

Note:  This recipe works well with fresh or frozen berries.

           STRAWBERRY DELIGHT

1 quart. (4 cups)          strawberries

4                          eggs yolks
1/2 cup                    sugar
2 tsp.                     corn starch
1-1/2 cups                 milk

1 envelope                 unflavoured gelatin
1/4 cup                    lime juice

4                          egg whites

Puree the strawberries in a blender or pass through a sieve.  Set aside.

In a medium size bowl, beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until creamy and

Sprinkle gelatin over lime juice, stir to combine, then beat softened
gelatin into hot sauce.  Add 1 cup fruit puree, refrigerate the remainder.

Beat egg whites with 1/4 cup sugar until stiff and fold into sauce.
Refrigerate until cool and slightly set.

Fold in whipped cream, and pour into an 8 cup mold.  Cover and regrigerate
for several hours or overnight until set.

Unmold onto a serving plate.  Surround with remaining strawberry puree
flavoured with lime juice and sweetened if necessary.

Are there any other good summer recipes and drinks out there.  I am 
doing more cooking this summer than I normally do, and would like
any good summertime recipes.

		Simple Strawberry Slush
	
3 C.    Whole frozen strawberries, unsweetened
1 C.    Champagne, or 7-UP, or even diet 7-UP
Dash of lemon

Blend in the food processor or a strong blender. 
Add sugar or Nutrasweet if needed.

This can be served like a daquiri or a sherbet.
I have also served this to my friends children,
when I use 7-UP or diet 7-UP in the recipe.  
Peaches or nectarines can be used instead of
strawberries, too.
