Add the blanched zest to the sugar syrup. Remove the sugar syrup from the heat and let the zest steep for 10 minutes. Remove the zest from the syrup and lay out on a rack.

• Wash, dry and hull the strawberries.
• Slice into quarters.

• End each with the mango-cream.
• Garnish each with one of the reserved slices of mango and a little mint sprig.
• Serve immediately.
• Note 1- if your mangoes are really sweet don't add any sugar to the cream, just whip it without it.

• But you can prepare the mango cream and strawberries up to the point of layering several hours a head.
• Get your glasses out and ready, and then just layer before service.
• Note 3- try this with raspberries instead of strawberries- heaven!

STRAWBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• Reserve 6 perfect berries. Crush or puree the remaining berries using a coarse sieve, the medium disc of a food mill or a food processor, using the steel blade. Combine the puree, sugar and brand; let stand 1 hour at room temperature. Stir periodically to dissolve the sugar. Cover and chill. Whip the cream and fold gently into the puree. Turn into a serving bowl or 6 individual bowls. (Glass dishes show off the color of the fool best.) Decorate each serving with a whole berry and a sprig of mint.
