Notes

The Strawberry/ Raspberry sauce I like to serve them with I usually buy at Cash and carry it is our family’s favorite but you can always make it your self.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY SAUCE:

  1.  Trim the stems off of 2 cups of strawberries and cut in fourth.
  2. add 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix and let them sit for five minutes.
  3. after five minutes mash the strawberries or blend it in a blender.
  4. you can also stir In couple spoons of sour cream and it will make it extra delicious.
  5. Enjoy it with some Syrniki !
 
These are freezer friendly you can always double up the recipe and freeze it then re hear them in the oven for 5-7 min
