As you all know by now that I share iftar with few people and each day I have to give them full iftar meals. So I need as much as super quick fix recipes in hand. Allah and his rasool has blessed me in this pious month. I find myself lucky that I am able to provide home cooked meals to them.
Prophet Mohammed (pubh) says ,”He who gives iftar to another fasting person will earn reward equivalent to a fasting man without detracting from the reward of later.”
Usually I make strawberry crush in big quantities. But to simplify things to those who are not comfortable for huge quantity preparation, giving you minimum measures for about half kilo of strawberry. I have added sugar and little bit of water to start up the process. And cooked till all the water from strawberries have dried out and we are left with a lumpy thick texture syrup.

A delicious crush made within minutes to be used for milkshakes or toppings.
