Mrs Frugal Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've just picked our first strawberries of the year and they look fabulous and juicy. They are "Pegasus" variety and we're growing them in a pot with our potted apple trees which means we can net them to keep the blackbirds off them!! Before... After... Roll on tea time !

Lesley-Jean Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Is that strawberry meringue I hope you haven't eaten it yet Wait till I get there It looks fantastic Kate, where did you get the eggs for the meringue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yes, strawberries just have to be put to good use in a pavlova in our house ! We've not started eating it yet, LJ but you'd better hurry! The eggs came from Eggy, my farmer friend as I've got one hen out of three laying and her eggs are earmarked for scotch eggs for tea tomorrow, I'm afraid! Shattered illusions all round now, eh !

Mrs Frugal Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Pavlovas are really easy. If you've not made one before, Clare, give it a try as they are delicious!! They are also a good way of making a little fruit go a lot further!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 We dont need to net the strawberries from the birds. We need to net them from Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
