GASTRONOMICALLY TALKING...

Fragaria is grown mainly for its use in gastronomy. The strawberry is a fruit of the forest suitable in dietetic regimes, since it has low concentration of carbohydrates. They are consumed alone or mixed with sugar, sugar and wine, sugar and cream, in ice creams, jams and are also very appreciated in pastries such as sweets, cakes, pies, their bright red color gives a special touch as a food ornament. With the strawberry, an alcoholic beverage is made up of brandy called strawberry liqueur.


Tender leaves can be consumed as a vegetable, although this use is infrequent. The leaves should be collected when the plant is well-flowered; the roots, when it is about to dry; and the fruits are very ripe, with an intense pink color. Always keep in the shade and in a place sheltered from heat and humidity.

- 2 envelopes of strawberry jelly
- 1 tub of fresh cheese to spread 250 gr.
- 200 gr. of butter

- 500 ml. of cream to mount.


Preparation:
Melt the butter in the microwave, crush the cookies and mix them with the butter until making a smooth paste. Distribute the paste on the bottom of a removable mold, there should not be a very thick bottom because then it would be more difficult to split, ideally half a centimeter.

Dissolve the gelatin in half a liter of hot water, add another half liter of cold water, fresh cheese and cream. Beat it well with the blender and pour it little by little into the mold with the cookies. Let it set in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Garnish with strawberry jam or whipped cream.
