Strawberry rolls are something we look for whenever we're craving a sweet and sour snack. Now you don't have to go looking for it in the store! Make this recipe in your own home and have a delicious tit bit whenever you have the mid-meal hunger. It couldn't be easier to make!
Ingredients:
* 2 pound hulled strawberries
* 1 ? cup granulated sugar
* 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions:
1. Start off your recipe by cutting the strawberries in half.
2. Mash them thoroughly with a potato masher in a large bowl. You don't have to worry too much about the consistency of the strawberries yet.
3. Briskly stir in sugar and lemon juice for the recipe and keep it aside, at room temperature, for 30 to 45 minutes.
4. Keep stirring occasionally to make sure all the sugar has dissolved and mixed well, or the recipe will be inconsistently sweet.
5. Pour the mixture you've made into a blender or food processor and blend for 1 minute till you have a smooth puree.
6. Pour into a nice, non-stick wide pan and bring the recipe to a low boil over a medium flame.
8. Preheat oven to 80? C.
9. Line rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
10. Put the recipe on the baking sheets and use spatula or fork to spread evenly into as thin, wide a rectangle as possible. Make sure the spread is not too thick, but isn't translucent as you spread it. You want to be able to roll the recipe once it's done, without causing it to break.
11. Cook the recipe in the oven for 5 to 6 hours, in batches if required. The final recipe should feel flexible but not too sticky.
12. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and transfer the parchment sheets to cook through.
13. Put your completed recipe on waxed paper sheets without covering it completely. Leave around a centimetre of border hanging out on all sheets.
14. Store your completed recipe at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.
15. You can enjoy this delicious snack whenever you're hungry or craving something tangy!

Tasty Strawberry, strawberriesChoosing a Theme for the Party
Pulling together a larger theme - one for the party itself, not just the food - takes a bit more effort, but some favorites that aren't too much of a challenge are "around the world" or even a specific country. Think of the fun you'll have decorating for a location party, how much fun your guests will have feeling like they're on a mini vacation, and what a treat it will be to select party snack recipes while learning about a particular country!
Color party themes are another go-to idea. Black and white parties are common, but it's difficult to find foods that match that concept. Throwing a Blue party wouldn't be a great idea either, can you think of many blue party snack foods? An orange party, however, would allow for serving any appetizers that have carrots, or cheese, or yes, oranges. Some easy party snack recipes that come to mind are cheese balls, carrots with a delicious cream cheese dip or an orange spice cake for desert!
The theme could be food related, such as using some of the same ingredients throughout the spread. It could also be color related, especially to celebrate a holiday or certain season. It's easy to come up with red and green foods for Christmas or red, white, and blue foods for the Fourth of July. If you are not feeling very creative for the day, just turn to the internet where you can find great holiday related party snack recipes. The small amount of effort there makes a big impact on the eyes.
If it is a struggle to find a theme you are comfortable with, look at what decorations may be stored around the house. An old flower arrangement could be transformed into a center piece for a spring dinner event or an old Birthday wrapping paper could be easily transformed into a personalized table cloth. Many appetizer recipes can be made with a few ingredients that are also stored in the pantry.
So whether you're throwing a "Hot and Spicy" party, or a meat lover's extravaganza, having a theme for the food, and even the d?cor makes it easy and fun for all of the guests. They will leave the party feeling inspired and full with all of the wonderful party snack food you prepared!
