I just tried this shortcake today and it was so good. So I am putting the recipe here so you guys can also try it. It is easy and has basic ingredients which is why I tried it.

Appliances:
Mixer
Food processer

Ingredients:
20-30 fresh strawberries
3 handful of nuts (any, what ever you have in the house)
1 handful of dates
honey
sea salt
olive oil (cold expelled preferred)

Put nuts into mixer and a dash a sea salt. Grind into a powder. Pit the dates and into the food processor until mushy. Add the ground nuts and process a bit. Add a spoonful of honey and process until soft and doughy. Put this into a bowl. Take a handful of strawberries (green top cut off) and put into the processor until chunky. Take the rest of the strawberries and put into the mixer with a spoonful of honey. Add a dash of olive oil, dash of salt and blend until creamy. Add processed berries but do not blend together. Pour the mixture over the nut mixture and mix a little. You're all done. Enjoy!

Sounds awesome (and simple). Something I could definitely take to gatherings of "non-raw."

Thanks for sharing.

for anyone who wants to see this recipe demonstrated you can watch it on youtube. It's a recipe by Storm from the raw family website. It looks soooo good!

That is the sight I got the recipe from. I saw it an new I had to make it. I also thought I could bring this to a non-raw function. Let me know how you liked it.

The strawberry shortcake sounds great, if only I could afford 30 strawberries for one dish. Where do you find them at a reasonable rate. In the stores they are $4-$5 for about 8 in the pkg.

Where do you live? I can get a 1 pound package of strawberries for close to $3.00 at our local discount store. If I go to a major grocer store it is more expensive. It is well worth it. And if you grow them like I do in the spring I will be so overl oaded with strawberries I won't know what do do with them. You can also freeze them and they will work just fine with the recipe. I have done that.

And to answer the question about how long to keep it in the fridge, well I assume no longer than 4 days. That is the time frame to keep things fresh in the fridge.

I just made this last night and I must say it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I am still excited about it and can not wait until lunch time today..LOL. Thanks for sharing!

I am glad you liked the recipe. So did I and that is why I shared. Doesn't taste just like a shortcake? Hmmmmm.

Well I always read that is the time frame to keep fresh food in the fridge. So I always go by that rule. Am I the only one who ever heard this?

I can get the frozen ones for $2/lb. They are about the same price when in season.

This is conventional. Organic, forget it. Out of my reach.
