3/4 c. (or more, to taste) strawberry freezer jam

Blend well.  (I use my immersion blender.) 

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt Popsicles

We use these popsicle molds.

Ingredients:
Raw Milk Yogurt
Strawberry Jam

Instructions:

Fill mold 1/4 way with yogurt, then a thin later of jam.  Repeat until mold is full.  Take a butter knife and slide through the layers to make the layers blend slightly, but not completely.  Freeze 6-12 hours.

Alternatively, you can use any fresh, pureed fruit.

Inspired by these popsicles.

Strawberry Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Dairy-free and delicious!  If you prefer non-chunky strawberry ice cream, you could strain the strawberry puree with a cheesecloth or mesh strainer.
 



Ingredients:
3 cups coconut milk (or raw cow's milk)
4 pastured egg yolks
1/3 cup maple syrup (grade B is best for nutrient value)
1 Tablespoons vanilla extract
1 (16 oz) bag of organic frozen strawberries (thawed), or 1 lb of cleaned, organic strawberries, pureed


Instructions:
Blend egg yolks.
Add maple syrup, vanilla, and coconut milk and blend more. 
Pour into ice cream maker. 
When nearly done, add strawberry puree until well blended. 
Serve immediately. 

Freeze leftovers (if there are any!), but keep in mind that it takes a while to thaw coconut milk ice cream.

Strawberry Freezer Jam (Sweetened with White Grape Juice)


Ingredients:
16 c. already-hulled and mashed strawberries*
3 c. white grape juice
4 1/2 T. low-sugar pectin
(optional: 3 c. raw honey)

Supplies:
25 - 8 oz jelly jars with lids and bands
canning funnel
large stock pot
potato masher
tongs

Instructions:
In a small saucepan, simmer lids in water. 

In a large stockpot, blend mashed strawberries and white grape juice.  Gradually stir in pectin. 

Bring the mixture to a boil that cannot be stirred down. 

Turn heat off.  Ladel the hot mixture into the jelly jars.  Remove the lids from the hot water with tongs and place on top of each jar.  Screw bands finger-tight on jars.  Let cool to room temperature.  Listen for the lids to seal.  Place the jars in the freezer when totally cooled.

* We picked 24 pounds of berries, and froze a one gallon freezer bag full of them.  The rest we used for the jam.
