Strawberry Lemonade
a Sutton creation!
2 cups cups strawberries
6 lemons*
1-2 cups Xagave
3-4 cups cold water
Puree 1 1/2 cups of strawberries and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in your Bosch blender until smooth. You can remove most of the strawberry seeds by forcing it through a fine sieve but we enjoy everything about a strawberry, so I took all the blended strawberry mixture. Blend together pureed strawberry mixture with remaining lemon juice. Add 1 cup Xagave and water in a large pitcher. Taste, add more Xagave if you like it sweeter! *Use your Bosch citrus juicer to make fast lemon juice!  Healthy Strawberry Pie from "Delicious Meets Nutritious"
1 Granola Crust Or pre-made crust
1 to 1 1/2 pounds strawberries (sliced or quartered)
Fruit Gel:
1/2 water
1/3 cup Xagave
8 to 10 strawberries
Juice from 1/2 lemon **
3 Tbs. corn starch
In your Bosch Blender blend fruit; add water, lemon juice, and Xagave. Cook mixture in sauce pan and bring to a boil. Mix in 3 Tbls corn starch with 3-5 Tbls. water then slowly mix into fruit mix. Reduce heat and simmer. Stirring constantly until mixture thickens. This only takes a couple minutes. Let gel and cool. Pour over fruit pie shell. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes before serving. Slice the strawberries in the pie shell and spoon the strawberry fruit gel over the strawberries. I used the granola crust with this pie. I used my homemade granola recipe (Click Here) Granola Crust:
1 1/4 cups granola
1/8 cup Xagave
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
4 T butter melted
Make the crust in your Bosch food processor. Pulse 1 cup of granola with Xagave and cinnamon till fine crumbs from. Drizzle in butter and process till combined. Add remaining granola. Mixture will be crumbly. Press into 9" stainless steel pie pan. Refrigerate till firm about 15 minutes. Bake crust till golden brown (about 10 minutes) **The Bosch Citrus Juicer is great for making needed juice for these recipes. We were able to get all the juice out of the our lemon easily letting the Bosch Universal Mixer do our work!:) Note from Paula: I can adjust the shipping manually the cookbooks found on my web site. Give me a call if you would like any of the cookbooks! One last strawberry tip! Do you hate hulling the strawberry stems? Get your drinking straw out and drive it through the strawberries. Start at the tip of the strawberry and drive the straw through the stem. The stem pops right off! See the pics on the step by step. So easy and give a great food presentation.
