Strawberry Season...

Strawberry season is finally here and it is time to bring on the strawberry recipes!

Our family is a huge fan of the Fruit Pizza.  I needed to make a pizza for a friend, but wanted some for our family, so I halved the dough and made a small pizza and then with the rest of the dough I baked them in these little tart pans.  Aren't they cute? 
 
Then I topped them with some fresh whipped cream and cut strawberries.  
Now one could stop there, but I drizzled some of the glaze leftover from the pizza too.  


I am sure you can just use pre-maid sugar cookie dough, but this is the recipe I use for Fruit Pizza crust... taken from the "Pride of the Princes Kitchen" cookbook. 
It is absolutely delicious! 

Crust:
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 1/4 cups of flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Bake at 325 until golden brown...about 10 minutes.

Glaze:
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon of cornstarch

Combine ingredients on stovetop and bring to a boil for 1 minute.  Let the glaze cool before drizzling on your creation.

Enjoy strawberry season!
