Last weekend we tried our hands at a fun little cooking activity with a rather satisfying payout!

The kids (with appropriate supervision) made a super easy 3 ingredient strawberry preserve that got slathered on buttery toast at the end! uuummmYUM!

Ingredients:

  • Strawberries, chopped
  • Lemon Juice, a few tablespoons
  • Sugar or Jaggery

Ratio of strawberries to sugar/jaggery: 2:1

Method:

  • In a saucepan, throw in the diced strawberries and sugar
  • Leave on sim until nice and pulpy
  • Keep stirring until the desired consistency is achieved
  • Add the lime juice after it cools down a bit
  • Store away in a sterile glass jar

Enjoy on buttered toast, chapatis, yoghurt, crackers etc.

Thought of rendering a little ‘desi’ twist to my critters’ favourite french toast.

Needless to say they polished it off without a wince or a whine 😆

Egg
Milk
Cinnamon powder
Vanilla extract
Jaggery
Salt, pinch
Bread roughly torn

Whisk the eggs with milk, cinnamon powder, jaggery, punch of salt and vanilla extract. Add the bread bits.


Fry off in an Appé pan with butter.

Have a great Monday!
