Strawberry Topping (Jam)

An excellent breakfast spread or topping for Tofu Cheesecake, garnished with fresh sliced strawberries. Easy to whip up, this topping can be enjoyed year round, as frozen berries work well.

½ cup pitted dates or dried pineapple

1. Thaw strawberries if frozen. Purée the berries in a blender.
2. If dates are not soft, place in small amount of water and steam in the microwave or on the stove.
3. Combine with strawberries in the blender and blend smooth.

Makes 1½ cups.
