ReplyDeleteOh...these look so good! We are having the BEST strawberry season this year...and I am so enjoying all the strawberry recipes.
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI bought one of these cutters at a 'Pampered Chef' home party. I used it to make peanut butter and jam sandwiches (many) years ago when I indulged my daughter in the "no crust" phase.
If you are really wanting your own, you can buy it online from them here: https://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering/prod_details.tpc?prodId=33&catId=4&parentCatId=4&outletSubCat=&viewAllOutlet=
I am not making any money from this, just sharing the link. :-)
Here is that link with a "tiny URL" so it will work:

The tart press is called a Press and Seal. Comes from Pampered Chef. Usually for around $14. It's great for making perogies, sandwiches or even grilled cheese. These Strawberry things look amazing, I never thought to use my Press and Seal for something like that. I will have to give that a try.

ReplyDeleteYUM!!! Ive never had a FILLED scone!!! Perfect for strawberry season! :)
ReplyDeleteStrawberry filled scones..how wonderful is that? As soon as I have some fresh strawberries I will be trying these scones. My daughter said oh good then she didn't have to!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to copy this recipe out! I really need to learn to make these. I can't eat many desserts and this would be perfect for me! thank you!
ReplyDeleteThese sound and look SO YUMMY!! Thank you! I'll be making these!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! And I do love strawberries! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI definitely am trying this one! Yummmy! You can get a tart press like that from pampered chef, if anyone wants to know. Karen
ReplyDeleteThis looks incredible. You ladies always have the best looking goodies. Thank you so much for sharing. I have strawberries in my garden now..will have to give this a try. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou sure can photograph food. I'd kill for one of these right about now.
ReplyDeleteGreat gadget! My mother in law would love one. It'll make a nice birthday present.Thanks for the tip!
Aeons ago when we were in New Zealand, fresh scones were served with whipped cream. If you did that with these scones, you'd have strawberry shortcake all in one neat package. They look awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat gadget! Wish I could be sipping coffee with you right now and enjoying these treat. Kathy
ReplyDeleteI made these this morning and they are so delicious. No need for jam or butter because the fruit is the surprise in the middle. Next time I will make them as mini turnovers for a smaller treat.
ReplyDeleteI just made these and they are wonderful. My only "problem" was that the dough was really wet and sticky so I had to keep adding flour once I had it on the board to knead and roll it out. My hubby wants more fruit in the middle next time.
