Oh, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I cannot believe--but I do--what Hubby just came in and told me. He'd been out on his motorcycle, and I told him I'd made blueberry muffins and the strawberry bread (of which neither loaf came out of its pan intact) this afternoon, and happily informed him that we have a ton of sugared, crushed strawberries all ready for shortcakes any time we want them. I went on to say that I had used the little bag of sugar he'd brought back from camping, since I had used all of our other sugar already. He got a look of horror on his face, and with good reason: that little bag had not contained sugar, but kosher salt, which he had used to clean the iron skillets! So I'll be putting a whole lot of strawberries down the disposal here shortly. He said they taste every bit as nasty as you'd expect. shocked I'm not trying 'em! At least I fixed the ones for the bread separately.

Just thought y'all might appreciate being given a smile...

strawberries

I got some strawbs the other day. I washed, cored, and then quartered them, and then put some sugar on them and some dry red wine. Left them over night in the fridge in a covered casserole dish. They were just as good as grandma used to make. No need to spoil them with spongecake or the like.

.....and I watched Jamie Oliver throw together fresh berries for desert, last night (on TV)and he suggested pouring Elderberry Cordial over the fruit to enhance the flavour. I don't know if its available here, But I'm going to find out. (Says its better than sugar).

Jackie...how is 'kosher salt' different from usual salt?

and some dry red wine. I know the word for that! You macerated 'em! (Yay, something about words!)

Yeah, Zed, that was a lot of strawberries--prolly about three pounds-- down the drain; one of those situations that just seem to come up every so often, of one person not dreaming what another might do/say or have done/said/meant. Ah well--lesson learned!

And the moral is always snack taste as you cook.

Or never use sugar as a sweetener. ( still take care to not confuse maple syrup with motor oil );-)
