    HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY FRUIT JUICE

    Happy about-to-be-the-weekend, everybody!! Seems that it started a day early for me since I completely forgot to schedule this lovely recipe for my Grandma’s old fashioned, the way-it-should-be-made, Homemade Strawberry Juice.

    Can we talk about nostalgia?

    Things are about to get deep up in herrrr…

    Every summer, right around this time, I get seriously homesick. When I was single, wild AND completely carefree, I would take off and go to Macedonia on a 2-month vacation. Best summers, ever!

    In the mornings, I’d wake up to farm fresh eggs, homemade feta cheese, homemade yogurt, homemade Ajvar, homemade sausages… the homemade-list goes on.

    Baba (Grandma) never took a break and was constantly making something – anything, really – all with one thing in mind; do not waste food. NO food should ever end up in the trash. That is how they were raised and that is all she knew.

    Also? And what I’m completely jealous of?! All their food was steps away from their front door.

    Thevegetable garden had every vegetable you can possibly think of. Their fruit trees? Oh Lord! Cherries, apples, pears, plums, apricots… I will run out of room trying to list all of ’em. Their dinner?!? Also in their yard! (Vegetarians & Vegans, close your eyes!) Chickens, cows, pigs, goats, sheep, etc…
    One thing’s for sure – we were never hungry.

    One of grandma’s things that I’ve kept near and dear is this simple, countryside recipe for Strawberry Syrup, which she would use tomake this Strawberry Juice.

    The village where they lived is mountainous, with a very, very rich soil. There’s nothing that you can’t grow up there. Thus, around this time of year, grandma and I would go strawberry picking. She would strap two huge woven baskets on the sides of her donkey – yes, donkey 🙂 – and we’d be on our merry way to fill those baskets with berries.

    On theway home I used to eat the UNWASHED berries and drink water from the natural springs. NO FILTER! I’m still ALIVE! Imagine that…

    That night, I’d help her clean the berries and prep them for what would be the best juice on the planet.

    If you have a large amount of berries sitting around and aren’t sure what to do with all of ’em before they go bad, make this simple Strawberry Syrup so you too can enjoy the best juice on the planet! YES, on the planet… Add a cup of water, or even some soda water, and sip awaaaaaay!

    Which reminds me –do not get rid of the berries after you make the juice because next week I am going to show you how to make Strawberry Jam.

    ENJOY!
