Personally I can't tolerate them just chopped up so I always puree them to be safe, usually with other fruit (good with mango). I don't think you *need* to cook them first BUT I think think it makes them taste better (sweeter) once they're pureed.

This is precisely what I was looking for!!! Can you use frozen fruit? Also, what does "hull" mean? I'mlearning so much from all of you!!!  
I hope to make some for Shabbos lunch...I will let you know (I have to see how much frozen strawberries are at the store...might have to be another week!)
Thank you again...lots of love!

Hulling is removing the green leaves on the top of a fresh strawberry. Usually you can just pull them off, might need to use a knife for the stubborn ones. But if you get frozen strawberries, you won't have to worry about it!

What about a strawberry-banana smoothie? I love those! I just slice a banana into the blender, pour in enough soy milk to cover it, throw in a handfull of hulled strawberries, and blend away. Yum! Or try a sensational strawberry soy smoothie.

I was consuming some strawberries last night--I made some all fruit pops--just puree, basically, and freeze. I found a recipe for fruit leather, i.e. homemade fruit-roll-ups. I'll post it when I have a chance.
I love making a strawberry sauce, which is basically strawberries pureed and reduced in wine or balsalmic vinegar on the stove. Raspberries are really good this way too, and putting it on veggies that I used to eat as a salad, but now blenderize due to IBS. Strawberry salsa is pretty awesome, too.

It's just salsa using strawberries in lieu of tomatoes!!!
Have you ever had papaya or mango salsa or peach salsa?
Salsa, as most people "know" it is tomatoe based. So, think of it as spicy/tangy chunky strawberry dip--not like ice cream topping at all! Add some scallions, some cilantro, some lime juice, maybe some balsalmic vinegar--you can substitute a little red or vidalia onion in place of the scallions, some parsley, maybe a tiny squirt of honey...my secret addition is just a little cinnamon. You can add some peppers or jalepeno for sweetness and heat if you like. I like to mix the strawberry with a little peach or nectarine or mango or papaya or banana. I don't really measure anything. In summary, it's just a tomatoe-free salsa. Once, I even made a salsa with watermelon which was wicked!!! You just chop it all up and mix it and let it sit for about half an hour and wow!
