STRAWBERRY BELLINI RECIPES

Steps:

• This works great as a stand-alone recipe, but also as a component in Jamie’s Sunny Gathering from Together – see the full collection of menus here. GET AHEAD Hull the strawberries and blitz in a blender until smooth, then pass through a sieve into a nice jug and refrigerate overnight. TO SERVE Pour 1½cm of strawberry purée into each glass, then half-fill each one with fizz and gently stir together. Top up each glass with fizz to order, as and when your guests desire a drink.

Steps:

• Make a simple syrup: Add the sugar and 1 cup water to a small saucepan and heat over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer to a container and allow to cool completely in the fridge, about 45 minutes.
• Add the strawberries and lemon juice to a blender with the cold simple syrup; blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Transfer to a pitcher and chill until ready to use.
• To serve, add about 2 tablespoons of the strawberry puree to a champagne flute and top off with the chilled rose.
