Flavoring macarons
A neighbor and I are having a baking day at my house on Wednesday and we're trying our hand at the ever so trendy macaron for the first time. Making a lemon curd or chocolate version seems straightforward enough, but we wanted to make some strawberry ones for her 4 year old twins. It would seem we simply add a drop of red food coloring to the batter to make it pink, but how to make strawberry buttercream? Add preserves? Also - tips on making pistachio flavored ones? I'm going to make some black sesame ones with Yuzu buttercream for the grownups.

I love macarons blue ones i think their blueberries
Strawberry preserves seem like the way to go for the buttercream since they'll be less watery than actual strawberries.
Here's a recipe for pistachio and cacao nib macarons:

Tartelette substitutes some of the almond meal for ground up pistachios for the pistachio flavor.
