The other night while cleaning out the refrigerator, I noticed some older strawberries that were on the verge of not making the cut. I've been making a real effort to be less wasteful when it comes to food so I started dreaming up possible recipes for these "about to bite the dust berries"....
...followed by the bananas that were sure to be banana bread in a few short days had they not been needed for these diet destructing deserts I had conjured up...
The winner...a strawberry sauce....
 |
| Chop a pint of strawberries... |
 |
| Cook in a medium sauce pan with 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and 1/2 cup of sugar... |
 |
| Mash & stir for several minutes until the sauce reduces |
...then came the Homemade Hot Fudge idea...
 |
| Hot Fudge recipe can be found here: Hot Fudge Recipe |

All because of old strawberries...scrimpy yet scrumptious!
