BERRIES WITH COINTREAU
This is a refreshing summer dessert our friend Margaret makes each Boxing Day. It is not exactly as Margaret makes it because I made this from memory, it was never written down, but it does taste the same. The first couple of times I made this I used custard powder as I didn't have arrowroot, it worked fine. Make whatever quantity you need and use fresh or frozen berries, it is flexible. The berries look lovely served in martini glasses with bowl on the table for guests to have seconds.

Steps:
- Hull and halve most of the strawberries, leaving some whole for decoration.
- Using a clear glass bowl for display add frozen berries and fresh strawberries and mix together, leaving the whole strawberries for later.
- Put Cointreau, arrowroot and honey into a small saucepan and heat until it starts to thicken, then add about 1/4 of the berries from the glass dish and puree or blend with a stick blender.
- Pour pureed berries over the mixed berries in the glass bowl and mix well, keeping the whole strawberries on top for decoration.
- Taste now before chilling and adjust flavours, by adding more Cointreau and sweetener if necessary - I usually just add icing sugar instead of more honey.
- Cover with cling wrap and chill then serve with ice-cream or whipped cream.

STRAWBERRIES WITH COINTREAU
This one takes a couple hours because the strawberries have to soak up the cointreau, so allow enough time for that. If you don't want to whip your own whipped cream just use it from a can! This is from The Vancouver Sun Newspaper, 1996.

STRAWBERRIES IN COINTREAU
This is delicious and it makes quite a lot so if you stop at step 1 it makes a great dessert served in stemmed glassware with cream or ice-cream - although I did make this to top Classic Pavlova #174892.

Steps:
- Hull and halve strawberries, leaving about 8 whole for pavlova decoration, and put into a medium bowl; scoop passionfuit into bowl; add Cointreau to taste & sugar and chill for an hour or two.
- Before topping pavlova with strawberries and passionfruit, drain juice from the fruit, being careful not to lose any of the passionfruit pulp; taste and add more Cointreau and sugar if necessary.
- Thicken the juice with arrowroot over a low heat to make a pouring sauce, not too thick as it will thicken as it chills - amount of arrowroot needed depends on how much juice you have from the strawberries.
- After adding cream to pavlova, top with the strawberries, both sliced and whole (leave leaves on whole strawberries) and pour over the sauce.
