You can make this cute arrangement for Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, Mother's Day, or any occasion. It's great as a gift and as a centerpiece. You need about 25-30 strawberries. I washed these and dried them very well with a paper towel and it's best to have them cold so you might want them in the refrigerator. Some paste or liquid food coloring, vanilla almond bark and chocolate almond bark, some decorative cookie and cupcake decorations, a vase to put them in, and ribbon. You also need about 25-30 bamboo skewers and some sandwich bags, a scissors and, a knife. Before you start dipping you have to decide if you want your strawberries to have the leaves or no leaves. It's was just much easier to stem them and then you can just pop them into your mouth to eat them. So to stem them, I'm going to use this Rada Granny Parer. It works really good. As you can see it curves to the shape of the fruit or the vegetable. It works really good to stem that strawberry. Then you are going to take a skewer and you are going to push it up through that strawberry. Now we are going to take, I'm going to start with chocolate first, and I'm going to put this in the microwave for 30 seconds on high. Then we'll see how it looks, you usually have to do it twice, but you don't want to burn it. They don't look like they are melted but sometimes the bowl is warm enough that once you start stirring it, and you don't want it too hot, because it won't stick on your strawberry very well. So just the warmth of that bowl will help melt those leftover little pieces. So that's about right. If you do get it too hot you can add a solid shortening, like a Crisco. Not oil or butter but Crisco. If it gets too thick, we'll thin that up but the trick is not get it to that point. Okay and now I also have this piece of Styrofoam I got I think when I bought a printer. This work really well to stick them in after you've coated them. So if you have a bowl that's not really deep you should be able to just turn them. Now if you want to get to the stick you can take a spoon and then if you shake it a little bit. Just going to try or actually the strawberries are better if they're not quite so ripe because they will stick on the stick better. I want to show you how to color this. Now this is a red liquid food coloring that actually if you only put in one drop it make is kind of that dusty pink color which I really like, or you can use a paste food coloring. Here is something else I thought up. I'm going to add a little bit of jello. It gives that really good, when you bite into the strawberry, it gives it that really a burst of strawberry flavor. You just mix that in, I don't know maybe a teaspoon, it depends on how much. So then you can just coat however many you want in pink. I want to show you how to do these drizzle marks. You just want to get a little on your spoon and go back and forth. Then you want to set that aside to let that harden too. Now I want to show you how to make the dots. What you do is take an ordinary sandwich bag and cut off the sealable end because it is kind of hard to work with. Open it up, put your melted almond bark in one corner and then with the scissors just cut the very, very tip off until you get the size you want. And then you take your hardened one and just make dots. To get them even I found if you go diagonally, they'll come out pretty even. Another idea is to use these sprinkles. So what you do is dip the strawberry, and get rid of the excess. Now while still soft you just sprinkle on. These would be really fun for a birthday party. They look neat on the valentine one, too. So once the coating has dried on the strawberries you can put them in a vase. This was just a vase I received flowers in once. It already had the bow on. It's a really cute idea for Valentine's Day or any occasion and everybody will appreciate a homemade gift. This is one of the ideas in our "Fruit Bouquets" recipe book.
