STRAWBERRY ORANGE DAIQUIRI

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler or zester, remove the zest of the orange, taking care to leave the pith behind.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat whisk together the sugar with 1/4 cup water and the orange zest. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.
• Reserve 4 strawberries for garnish and remove the hulls and roughly chop the remainder. Add the strawberries with the juice of the orange to a blender and fill with ice. Add the cooled orange simple syrup and blend until smooth. Add the rum, if desired, and blend. Pour into glasses and garnish with reserved strawberries.

STRAWBERRIES IN ORANGE JUICE

Steps:

• Stem the strawberries and put them in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the sugar and pour over the juice. Cover and leave to macerate several hours or overnight before serving.

SPICED CRANBERRY AND ORANGE RELISH

Steps:

• Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer syrup, without stirring, washing down any sugar crystals on side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water, 5 minutes.
• While syrup simmers, cut oranges, including peel and pith, into 1-inch pieces, discarding any seeds, and combine with cranberries, cinnamon, and cloves in a food processor.
• Add sugar syrup and pulse until fruit is finely chopped. Transfer relish to a bowl and stir in ginger. Chill, covered, 1 day for flavors to develop.

STRAWBERRY-ORANGE FRUIT DIP

Steps:

• In small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange peel with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Stir in strawberries.
• Serve with assorted fruit. Cover and refrigerate any remaining dip.

ORANGE-RASPBERRY TRIFLES

Steps:

• Cut pound cake into nine 3/4-inch slices. Cut each slice in half, forming 18 pieces. Spread each slice with about 1 tablespoon raspberry jam; set aside. Place 1 slice of pound cake in the bottom of each glass. Top with a layer of raspberries and some pastry cream. Repeat layering again; finish with a third piece of cake.
• Whip cream until soft peaks form, and top each trifle with a generous dollop.

STRAWBERRIES AND ORANGES IN SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring water and sugar to a boil and cook until clear and sugar is dissolved (2-3 minutes). Let syrup cool briefly and add basil. Set aside to steep and cool.
• Wash strawberries, removing and discarding caps and then cut into quarters (or sixths if you have huge berries).
• Cut away the orange peel from the oranges, and then cut oranges into sections.
• Put the strawberries and orange pieces (and orange juice) in a bowl. Toss. Pour syrup over fruit. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

QUICK STRAWBERRY-ORANGE MARMALADE

Steps:

• Place strawberries in heavy medium saucepan; stir in sugar. Let stand until juices are released, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Cook strawberry mixture over high heat 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add marmalade and cinnamon stick pieces; bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture is thick enough to coat spoon, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Refrigerate until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. (Can be made 2 days ahead.)

STRAWBERRY ORANGE JAM

Steps:

• Inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust; discard any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until strawberry jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Wash, hull, and crush strawberries in a bowl. Measure berries; you should have about 5 cups.
• Scrub oranges well under hot running water and pat dry with paper towels. Zest oranges; place zest in a bowl and set aside. Peel oranges and remove all white pith. Divide oranges into segments and remove any white fibrous membranes and seeds. Chop oranges finely and mix into the bowl with the zest.
• Place crushed strawberries and orange-zest mixture in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in pectin and slowly bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil on high heat and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Skim off any foam with a ladle or a large spoon.
• Pack strawberry jam into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

ORANGE-STRAWBERRY SAUCE

• In a food processor, puree strawberries, Grand Marnier, sugar, and tangerine juice. Taste, adding more sugar, if desired. Chill before serving.
