Soapy strawberries

Today was soap day. After putting off making soap by using the berries I had acquired to make a drink, I decided that I better ruse the remaining strawberries before they completely rotted.

The recipe, per Martha's instructions, was simple enough. I threw the berries in the food processor until they were well chopped. I melted my olive oil soap base in the microwave until it was liquidy. I think threw the strawberries in the soap and mixed the two together. I threw the soap into my muffin tin and voila... strawberry soap!

They're a bit sticky, but will make great shower soaps! Next time, I am going to add less strawberries so that the soap is more transparent.
