Fruity Summer Treat!

We got into the kitchen this week to muster up a refreshingly summer recipe, which is so simple to make anyone will be able to do it. Using just three ingredients we made some cool raspberry frozen yogurt. All you need to make this recipe is frozen fruit (of your choice, we've heard strawberry also tastes delicious), greek yogurt and a tiny amount of honey.

The method is also very simple too, simply measure out 250g of frozen fruit (make sure your fruit is frozen before making) and 250g of greek yogurt. Also get the honey out of the cupboard, you'll only need 1 tablespoon.

Put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl or food processor and whiz up for 30 seconds until all the ingredients are mixed. 

Not only does it look delicious, it tastes delicious too, it's such a quick and easy little snack, lovely to watch Wimbledon this coming week or when it gets too hot outside!

What Summer recipe will you be making? Have you made any yummy recipes using fruit this Summer? 

National Strawberry Day!

Celebrate National Strawberry Day with a yummy Strawberry Jam Recipe! 

Ingredients:

• 2lb 3oz strawberries
• 2lb 3oz granulated sugar or caster sugar
• 1/2 lemon (juice only)
• Small knob of butter 

Recipe:

• The day before making the jam, hull and halve the strawberries and check for soft spots
• Remove any soft spots and throw away any berries that are overripe
• Put the strawberries in a bowl with 18oz of the sugar, turning carefully and mixing well - cover and place in the fridge overnight
• Place a saucer in the freezer to chill (you'll need this later)
• Sterilize the jam jars 
• Pour the strawberries, their juice and any residual sugary juices into a very large pan 
• Add the remaining 18oz of sugar and the lemon juice
• Stir over a gentle heat until the sugar has completely dissolved
• Bring the strawberries to the boil and boil hard until the jam reaches setting point (this may take up to half an hour) 
• To test if it has reached setting point, remove pan from heat and place a drop of the jam onto the saucer from the freezer, after a few seconds push the jam with your finger
• If the jam wrinkles it had reached setting point and is ready. If it slides about as liquid, it is not yet set.
• When setting point is reached, stir in the butter, skim off any scum on the surface of the jam 
• Let the jam cool and thicken in the pan for ten minutes
• Stir the jam and ladle it into the sterilized jars 

Enjoy!
