Yield 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

fresh strawberries
granulated sugar

Steps:

  • You will need a tupperware type container with a lid.
  • First, slice as many strawberries as you would like and place them in the container.
  • Then add as much sugar as you wish.
  • The more sugar makes more syrup.
  • I usually add enough to fully coat the strawberries.
  • Now put the lid on the container and tumble the strawberries for a minute so they can get saturated in the sugar.
  • Now refrigerate the container for a couple of hours, and you will have the tastiest, sweetest strawberries in their own syrup.
  • (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
10 large strawberries, sliced

Steps:

  • Bring water and granulated sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and stir in mint. Remove from heat and steep 10 minutes.
  • While mixture is steeping, beat cream cheese until fluffy and beat in yogurt, confectioners sugar, and vanilla. Chill yogurt cheese 15 minutes.
  • Pour syrup through a sieve over berries in a bowl, pressing hard on mint, and chill 10 minutes.
  • Serve strawberries and syrup over a dollop of yogurt cheese.

Tips:

  • Select ripe, fragrant strawberries: Choose berries that are deep red and have a sweet aroma. Avoid berries that are pale or have green or white tips.
  • Handle strawberries gently: Strawberries are delicate, so handle them carefully to avoid bruising. Rinse them gently under cold water just before using.
  • Remove the hulls: Use a sharp knife or a strawberry huller to remove the hulls from the berries. Hulling the strawberries makes them easier to eat and helps prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Slice or dice strawberries: Depending on the recipe, you may need to slice or dice the strawberries. If you are slicing them, use a sharp knife to make thin, even slices. If you are dicing them, cut them into small, even pieces.
  • Sweeten strawberries: Strawberries are naturally sweet, but you can add sugar or other sweeteners to enhance their flavor. If you are using sugar, sprinkle it on the berries and let them sit for a few minutes before serving. You can also use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to sweeten the berries.
  • Add flavorings: Strawberries pair well with a variety of flavorings, such as citrus fruits, herbs, and spices. You can add lemon zest, orange juice, mint, basil, or even black pepper to your strawberry dishes.
  • Chill strawberries before serving: Chilling strawberries before serving helps to intensify their flavor and make them more refreshing. You can chill them in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or you can freeze them for a few hours or overnight.

Conclusion:

Strawberries are a versatile fruit that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are delicious on their own, but they can also be used to make a variety of sweet and savory dishes. With their bright red color, sweet flavor, and juicy texture, strawberries are a surefire hit at any party or gathering.
