Strawberry Spheres

I received a molecular cooking kit for my birthday, here's my first attempts at spherification.  Look out for mango spaghetti coming to a blog near you soon.

To serve: Single cream, white chocolate stars & red glitter sugar

For the bath:

2g Sodium Alginate

400ml bottled water

Mix together and put in fridge – add slowly, try to minimise air bubbles - takes some beating!

For the Spheres:

200g strawberries

0.5 tsp manuka honey

6g Calcium Lactate

Blend Strawberries and honey, pass through sieve.  Mix in Lactate (again add slowly and mix like a demon!)

Leave all to stand 1+hour(s) to let any air bubbles out – skim puree if needed just before using.  Can leave overnight if required.

Drop Strawberries into bath.

‘Cook’ for 4-5mins

Put in clean plain water bath till ready to serve.

Serving suggestion: 0.5tsp lemon juice
