Add the strawberries, avocado, vinegar and vanilla into a food processor and blitz until it is as smooth as possible. Taste and add maple syrup if not as sweet as desired.

Method:
Blend together the strawberries and sieve to remove as many seeds as possible. Place the blended strawberries back into the blender with the ice, rum and lime juice. Blend again and pour into martini glasses.
Place the extra strawberries and limes into the glass for decoration and serve!
Ingredients:
Method:
Place strawberries in a pan along with 100ml of water and add the sugar. Over a medium heat, cook strawberries until soft enough to mash with a fork and take off the heat.
Squash the berries with a fork until pulpy and add the marshmallows, stirring until they dissolve. Leave to cool.
Whip the cream until it can hold its own shape, fold into the cooled strawberry mix and then spoon into separate serving bowls and chill for 2 hours. Add strawberries to decorate.
Ingredients:
Method:
Pre heat the oven to 220c.
Line a baking tray with baking paper ready for later.
To make the fresh jam, cut the ends off the strawberries and chop 300g. Put into a plan with 100g of caster sugar and 2 tbsp water. Simmer uncovered, stirring every so often for 35 minutes and leave to cool in the bowl.
Sift the flour and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and rub into the flour using your fingertips until it resembles small flakes. Stir in the remaining 50g sugar.
Mix the buttermilk and milk together, adding to the flour mix in one go and combining with a knife until a soft dough is produced.
Rub flour into your hands and a work surface, removing the dough from the bowl. Pat it out until it is around 2cm thick and use a cup or mug to cut out circles of the mixture. Place onto the pre-greased baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes.
While cooking, slice the remaining strawberries and serve with the fresh jam and clotted cream while still warm. Beautiful!
