The full moon in June is considered "Strawberry MOON"
This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe.
However, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. Also because the relatively short
season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June.
Vegan Chocolate Covered Strawberries
by Certified Natural Chef Julie S. Ong
Ingredients
- 6 ounces grain sweetened vegan chocolate or carob chips
- 20 strawberries with stems, washed and dried
- Optional: shredded coconut as garnish
Directions
Add vegan chocolate or carob chips into a medium heatproof bowl. Fill a medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and bring to boil over medium heat. Turn off heat. Put the bowl of chocolate or carob chips over the water to melt. Stir until smooth.
After chocolate or carob chips have melted, remove from heat. Line a sheet pan with unbleached parchment or waxed paper. Hold a strawberry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate or carob, lift and twist slightly, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Lay strawberries on the parchment paper. Repeat with remaining strawberries until all are covered. Optional: Garnish with shredded coconut.
Allow chocolate or carob to cool, about 30 minutes.
