Strawberries and Bananas - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 18

Many restaurants serve a strawberry and banana glaze dish for dessert. The glaze often uses gluten as a thickener. Servers and cooks won't know. They take it out of a plastic bag that is only labeled with the manufacturer's name and address. A safe version can be made at home. If a glaze is desired, use gluten free jelly or jam. Lightly heat the jelly or jam in a microwave safe bowl before pouring it onto the fruit. Whipped topping can be added to strawberries and bananas. They can top gluten and lactose free ice cream for a summer treat.
