Oven Temp:  375 degrees F.

Stir together sugar, tapioca, nutmeg and dash of salt. Mix rhubarb pieces and strawberry slices together. Add sugar mixture to rhubarb and strawberries; toss to coat fruit. Let fruit mixture stand for 15 minutes. Fill a pastry-lined 9" pie plate with fruit mixture; dot with butter. Adjust top crust. Seal and flute edge. Cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in a 375 degree F. oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 25 minutes more or till golden. Server Warm, plain or with vanilla ice cream. Makes 8 servings.

  - 1 tsp. salt

  - 2/3 cp. shortening or lard

Roll dough from centre to edge, forming a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Wrap pastry around rolling pin. Unroll onto a 9" pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful no to stretch pastry. Trim pastry even with rim. For top crust, roll out remaining dough.

  - 1.5 cup frozen berries, partially thawed

  - 1 cup plain non-fat yogurt

  - 1/2 tsp. vanilla

  - 4 tbsp. frozen pineapple concentrate

Enjoy!


Strawberry Wine

Provided by: Peter, The old strawberry grower

Ingredients:

  - 4 to 4-1/2 lbs Strawberries

 - 1 Gallon Water

 - 2 lbs. Sugar

 - 1 tsp. Acid Blend (Do Acid Test)

 - 1/8 tsp. Tannin

 - 1/2 tsp. Peptic Enzyme

 - 1 tsp. Yeast Nutrient

 - 1 Campden Tablet (plus more tablets for each rack)

 - 1 pack Cote's de Blanc Yeast

Wash and remove the stems and leaves. Use a straining bag and fill with the strawberries. Tie the top, commence to crushing and mashing. Leave straining bag in the bucket. Add water, sugar, acid blend (do test), tannin, peptic, enzyme, and yeast nutrient . Stir well. Before you add the yeast, you will need to sterilize the must. Crush up one campden tablet and add to the must. Stir and cover for 24 hours. Now you may add the yeast. Stir well, cover and stir every day for 4-5 days. Then siphon into your 1 gallon jug, put rubber stopper on and airlock. Siphon every 2 weeks and add 1 crushed campden tablet every time you rack. It will take about 2-3 months before your wine is clear enough to bottle. You can make more than one gallon if you just multiply out the recipe to however many gallons you want to make. One pack of yeast will work for 5-7 gallons. ENJOY!

Provided by: Paul B. Atwood
You can make a really good strawberry drink by putting a cup or two of strawberries in a blender with lemonade. You do have to be careful of all the seeds, though.

Strawberry/Fruit Granola Yogurt Dish

Provided by: Dick McCurdy
I love strawberries especially, but the wonderful flavour comes from mixing fruits. I do not use any frozen fruits but I recommend any of the following: Strawberries, Pineapple, Banana, Blueberries, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Melon, Kiwi Fruit, Apple, Pears. If you use apples and/or pears, core and slice thinly (1/8-1/4 inch) and place around the edge of the bowl standing up. This makes the holding capacity of the bowl greater! Yum-Yum!

Layer the following in a soup bowl:



  -	1/2 C Vanilla yogurt

  -	1/2 C Heartland Granola

  - 1   C Mixed Fruit (cut up to spoon size)

Basic Strawberry Frappe

Provided by: April Hechter
Sounds really simple...Tastes really good!

-   Half-fill tall glass with washed, sliced, fresh strawberries. 

  -   Add milk (low-fat or whole) just enough to cover berries.  

  -   Add sugar (or sugar substitute)**  +/-  1 tsp.

Blend in glass with wand-type hand blender, on fairly high speed, until all lumps are gone and glass has "filled up". Serve immediately.

** I prefer Equal to Sweet 'n Low -- 1 or 2 packets seems best
