Sure, we could get those luscious sweet treats during a good portion of the year; but for the most part, it was only in June that we could get the really good berries. Even then you had to get to the store early and pick and choose just the right ones from the top of the case. Now, thanks to a variety of high speed delivery services from around the world, strawberries are readily avail- able year round. For those of you worried about your sugar and fat intake, the straw- berry should become your best friend. Eight medium strawberries contain 140% of the US recom- mended daily allowance for vitamin C, as well as being a great source for folic acid, potassium and fiber. All of this and they're low in calories too! The following recipes come from contestants participating in the 1997 Strawberry Festival Cooking contest and trust me — they're all winners. CHOCOLATE CREAM PUFFS WITH STRAWBERRY TRUFFLE FILLING (MAKES 2 DOZEN PUFFS) Puffs 1 cup butter 2 cups boiling water 2 cups flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa 2 T sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 8 eggs f: • Ask for Debby at Some Berry-Good Recipes For Summer Dining "See me for car, home, life and health insurance.'' Office Phone Like a good neighbor. State Farm is there. Filling 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup strawberry jam 2 - 8 oz. packages cream cheese 1 - 8 oz. carton frozen whipped topping Whole fresh strawberries for garnish Grease a baking sheet and pre-heat oven to 400 degrees in a medium saucepan; melt butter in the boiling water. Add flour, cocoa, sugar and salt while stirring vigorously. Cook until mixture forms a ball that won't separate. Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Drop about 1/4 cup batter for each puff on a greased baking sheet. Space puffs about 3 inches apart. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips in top of a double boiler. In a sepa- rate bowl, beat cream cheese and jam until smooth. Beat in melted chocolate then stir in whipped top- ping. When puffs have been removed from oven, allow them to cool for a few minutes, then split them in half and remove any soft dough inside. Cool completely. Fill with cream cheese mixture and garnish with fresh strawberries. STRAWBERRY TRUFFLES (MAKES ABOUT 18 TRUFFLES) 8 oz. cream cheese at room temperature 5 oz. white chocolate 4 cups confectioner's sugar 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger root 18 medium fresh strawberries 1/4 cup finely minced crystallized ginger 1/2 cup toasted coconut 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachio nuts Melt white chocolate in the top of a double boiler, let cool. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar and ginger root until smooth. Add melted white chocolate and mix well. Chill for at least 1 hour or until easy to handle. Use a small melon bailer (or small spoon) to scoop out the center of each straw- berry, half way down each fruit. Pat strawberry dry. Put a little crystal- lized ginger into each strawberry. Shape the cheese mixture around the fruit. Coat one end in the toasted coconut, the other in the pistachio nuts. Place truffles in candy cups and chill until serving time.
