History

I love strawberries. I had this picture in my mind of a strawberry spread, jam or sauce with NO ADDED SUGAR. something refreshingly strawberry-ish. So, I tested some ideas out and came up with this super easy to make recipe that is both fresh and light. You can spread it on toast, add some to your yogurt and even put some on top of your ice cream. The possibilities are endless. Let your imagination run wild and enjoy!

For my fans in Quebec: do you remember that scene in the movie Séraphin when actress Karine Vanasse wolfs down a whole jar of strawberry jam? That jam looked good, right? Well, my Strawberry Thingy is exactly the same. You could eat jar after jar of it… guilt-free. Oh, I do so like date puree. Three cheers for date puree!

By the way, this recipe will feature in my upcoming cookbook, available in summer 2021.

At IGA, Rachelle Béry, Marché Tradition and Bonichoix grocery stores across Quebec. My purees contain no preservatives and can be found in the fruit and vegetable section (yes, dates are fruit) near the pre-cut fruit and vegetables. If you can’t find them, simply ask a member of staff!

Can I swap chia seeds for flax seeds and vice versa?

Yes, always. You can also use hemp seeds.
