Strawberries, Sour Cream and Brown Sugar



The title says it all, almost. First of all, don't knock it till you've tried it. It has become a family favorite. Thanks to Aunt Charleen for the sweet lady that she was. Without her, we would never have known how good this dessert is. And oh, so simple.

Recently, while on my new obsession Pinterest, I saw where someone had sliced through the strawberries from tip, but not through the stem and filled them with whipped cream. I'm sure they used a bag and cake tip. If you put a little gelatin in with the sour cream you could do the same and stand them up with stems down for a great presentation. They could then be dipped in the brown sugar. This would eliminate the sour cream dish for serving.

Any way you do them, they are wonderful. Enjoy.

The Recipe File

It was impossible to visit with Nana and not get into the recipe file. This is no small file. Tracy, Sydney and I have all at one time or another attempted to typeset the recipes in this file only to be overwhelmed. Since no one person is up to the task of immortalizing this life's work of recipes, it would be great if everyone participates. As you need recipes for different things you can take them and typeset them, or scan them however you would like to do them. Then post them on this site to contribute your part in all this.  Please add a label to your posts so we can eventually go in and organize by category. It was Nana's dream to have a book that would help us all with the various things we will make in our kitchens. She spent a lifetime perfecting her craft and was truly amazing. When we feel we have done her justice, we will organize a book and have copies printed for all of us. I hope as we contribute not only her recipes, but some of our own as well we will remember how much she loved to bring people together over good food. It will be such a tribute to her if we can enjoy this endeavor, enjoy each other and enjoy the memories we all have in our hearts.
