I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.

Strawberry Liqueur Strawberry Liqueur
I bought a bit less than 2 kilos of strawberries, so I made this pretty colored liqueur, which was something I've been wanting to do.Sterilize the jar properly with alcohol or boiling water (as you would sterilize a baby bottle)!Freeze the berries completely.I plan to make jam out of the berries that are removed from the liqueur (a slightly "tipsy" jam for the weekends).I think that strawberries that are a bit unripe and on the sour side are best for this.I held back on the amount of sugar used.If the strawberries you are using are sweet, you could try adding more lemon.
