Summer Berries and Cherries programme from the Orchard at Tesco - Eton Mess

So I decided to make an Eton Mess with Strawberries from Tesco as Part of the Tesco Summer Berries and Cherries programme from the Orchard at Tesco.

I used about half of a pack of Tesco Value Strawberries and chopped them up and added to a bowl and mixed them up with some lightly crushed shop bought Meringues and then added lightly whipped cream and gave it all a light stir so the Meringue didn't break up any more.

I also made a Raspberry coulis to drizzle on top of the Eton Mess, I added the Raspberries and a few Strawberries and about 1 tablespoon of icing sugar to my Blender and gave it a good blitz and then passed it through a fine sieve to get rid of the seeds.

I served up generous portions of the Eton Mess for myself and my other half and drizzled coulis on top, the whole process took less than 15 minutes from start to finish and I ended up with a rather tasty midweek dessert which took very little effort to make.

Yet again the Strawberries were superb, nice and fresh, plump, juicy and sweet tasting and priced at £1.75 I think they are an absolute bargain, I will definitely be buying them again. #TriedForLess

Strawberry Trifle.

I got invited to take part in the Tesco Summer Berries and Cherries programme from the orchard at Tesco and was sent a coupon for £3 to use against fresh Summer Berries and Cherries.

After browsing the fruit aisle in my local Tesco I decided on Tesco Value Strawberries and a pack of fresh Raspberries and decided to make a lovely Homemade Strawberry Trifle for the girls from work for our weekly wine night.

To make the Trifle I added chopped up Strawberries to a bowl with a dissolved Strawberry jelly and Trifle Sponges and let it set in the fridge overnight, the next day I made a lovely homemade custard and when cooled added it to the top of the now set jelly and topped it off with freshly whipped cream and added a decoration of sliced Strawberries and placed in the fridge ready to serve.

When I served my Trifle all 3 of the girls commented how fresh tasting the Strawberries tasted and what good quality they were and mentioned that when buying cheaper brands of Strawberries they can often be bitter or sour tasting but this wasn’t the case with these ones, they all said that they have been converted to Value Strawberries and will be buying them in the future instead of the more expensive ones. #TriedForLess
