Easter Ideas
Anybody have any good Easter ideas for us? I have been looking to make something new. That last 2 gatherings I made the caramel apple salad, but I was thinking about making something different. Help, please all you great cooks out there. Does anyone still have the easy tiramisu that was low in sugar? Thanks, Lynn

Fragolas
This recipe serves: 6
1 cup stemmed and sliced fresh strawberries
2 teaspoons sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 750 ml bottle of Prosecco, well chilled
6 mint sprigs, optional
1. Either by hand or with a blender puree the strawberries and sugar. Strain through a fine mesh strainer pressing down to capture as much of the fruit pulp as possible. Discard seeds and add lime juice.
2. Adjust sweet and sour to your taste; it shouldn't be too sweet.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour for flavors to develop.
4. Divide strawberry mixture among six chilled champagne glasses. Pour Prosecco over and serve garnished with a mint sprig if desired.
