Strawberry sugar? It might look a little like the pink powered drink mixes at the bulk store or maybe even a bit like kool-aid. Oh gosh did I ever love kool-aid as a kid, like eat it by the spoonfuls or dip your fingers in it kind of love. I would sit in this enormous chair they had in the corner with kool-aid tin in hand and watch cartoons. My mom never bought the stuff, so I would only ever have it at my Grandma's house. I swear they had an unlimited supply and I'm pretty sure my aunt still buys it to this day although I think she's given up on the red drink and has now moved on to blue.
So yes, it does look a bit like kool-aid but is near nothing of the sort. This is just two ingredients here. Freeze dried strawberries and cane sugar to pretty much do with what ever you think best. Ice cream? Muffins? Or even on cereal? I think yes!
I saw a raspberry version of this in something of Donna Hay's which I can no longer find but I know it pretty much consisted of putting the dried strawberries in a food processor which turns it to powder then is mixed into the sugar. Easy peasy.

cute....look forward to see what you make out of it!
That looks too tempting for words! I want!
Yummy! Fantastic color. Want to make it right away. :-)
Brilliant :)
This just brought back childhood memories for me! I used to drive my mother crazy because I always begged her to let me drink strawberry milk,(I hated plain milk). Do you remember that pink powder that you stirred into milk? This is an infinitely better version of that!
what do you use it for? (looks lovely!)
I love strawberry sugar. Thanks for reminding me- there is some sitting in the cabinet I forgot about. Great pics too.
Aw, how fantastic does that look! Want to make it rightaway!
This is just the prettiest thing ever, and I bet it would work with dried cherries or blueberries too. What a wonderful idea.
I'm thinking this would be fantastic to use to rim a martini glass. Possibly for a lemon drop (think strawberry lemonade)!
Yum!
sounds awesome.
Beautiful! What a lovely idea!
What a sweet idea!
Brilliant idea! Love it =D I just bought some cereal with freeze-dried strawberries just so I can pick up the strawberries to flavor my macaron shells hahahah. I'm mad.
You've had me thinking about dried strawberries all day. Am loving this recipe!
ash - made this and dusted grapefruit halves with it once - sooooooo good!
:)t
Nice! I need to try that!!
Hi Ash!! I love the concept...
What a fabulous idea! Read it yesterday (found you on pinterest) and did it today, but with freeze dried bananas. Sprinkled it over my banana muffins. Also, just have to share: you can buy freeze dried fruits at a discount (in bulk) here: http://yourownhomestore.shelfreliance.com/all-products/thrive-foods/fruits.html
Misty: Awesome! I love the idea of Banana sugar!
Double thanks for the link!!
Hello, I just discovered your site through my favourite food mag, Saveur. Your site and photos are just lovely! I am new to blogging and it's inspiring to see such a beautiful site! Thank you! Jessie, A fan from Vancouver.
beautiful! and what a fabulous idea!
All here is beautiful,love your photos.
Yum! I am obsessed with strawberries. Very cute site!
This looks lovely. I think I'll have to try it. I wonder what it would be like over creme brulee. Or, as the sugar in strawberry ice cream. And, I think you could use just about any dried fruit. blueberries? figs? thanks!
nice post
This can also be used for adding flavor and taking the edge off the of clear spirits. I've tried it in Spirytus and the flavor is terrific. Thanks!
