Harmons Strawberry Bricks
What it is
Harmons Strawberry Bricks are a frozen fruit product. They contain pureed strawberries that have been formed into dense, solid blocks. This method of preparation preserves the natural flavor and color of the strawberries. The bricks are designed for convenient storage and use in various culinary applications. They offer a concentrated strawberry experience without added sugars or preservatives, focusing on the fruit's inherent taste.
How people cook with it
These frozen strawberry bricks are a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes. They can be easily incorporated into a wide range of recipes.
- Smoothies and shakes
- Sauces and coulis
- Baked goods
- Desserts
To use, simply break off the desired amount from the frozen brick. For smoother textures, allow the brick to thaw slightly before incorporating it into your recipe. You can also blend smaller pieces directly from frozen into smoothies or shakes. When making sauces or coulis, the thawed fruit can be gently heated and reduced. For baking, the bricks can be incorporated into batters or fillings, adding moisture and intense strawberry flavor. Experiment with different quantities to achieve your preferred level of sweetness and tartness.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole frozen strawberries, these bricks offer a more uniform and dense form. This makes them easier to measure and handle, especially when a consistent fruit puree is needed. The brick format also allows for quicker thawing of smaller portions compared to a large bag of loose berries.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike can benefit from the convenience and concentrated flavor of these strawberry bricks.
How to keep the rest
To maintain quality, store the remaining strawberry bricks in their original packaging or an airtight container in the freezer. Ensure they are kept at a consistent freezing temperature to prevent freezer burn and preserve their flavor and texture for future use.
