½ cup butter, unsalted, at room temperature
2 tbsp strawberry jam
¼ tsp finely grated orange rind
1 baguette
3 cups strawberries, washed, hulled
Icing sugar for dusting
Whipped cream (optional)
Wooden skewers (soaked in water)

In a food processor, beat butter until soft. Add jam and orange zest and mix until well combined.

Skewer 2 or 3 strawberries on each stick. Grill lightly, turning occasionally for 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook berries. Remove from grill and let cool slightly before slicing strawberries.

Slice baguette into ½-inch thick slices. Grill lightly on both sides for 2 to 4 minutes or until golden. Remove from grill. The bread may be grilled at the same time as the strawberries.

Spread butter mixture generously on each slice and cover with strawberry slices. Sprinkle with icing sugar. If desired top each slice with a dollop of whip cream, crème fresh or ricotta cheese. Makes about 24 slices.

Strawberries are rich in Vitamin C and soluble fiber which makes them a good for you food.
