Sounds so simple there is no need to explain? There is actually a little bit of an art to the way that you serve strawberries and cream to make the most of the delectable flavours. Here is how to serve strawberries and cream in a way that enhances the experience and follows the traditional way of preparing strawberries and cream.
Ingredients
- Strawberries
- sugar (caster sugar)
- Cream (your choice)
Alternate Method
- 10 Large Strawberries
- 2 Cups Half & Half
- 2 Cups Water
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Steps
-
1Halve the strawberries. After a gentle rinse and removal of the top, cut each strawberry in half.
-
2Sprinkle with fine sugar. Cover each half with a little fine sugar.
-
3Cover in cream. The choice of cream is up to you; it can be thick but liquid or whipped so that it peaks.
-
4Leave to stand. This is the artful part. Set the strawberries aside to sit for one hour at room temperature. Stir it occasionally. If preferred, the strawberries can be left in the refrigerator for up to four hours. During this time, the strawberry juice, sugar and cream are combining in a way similar to marinating. The resulting flavour is more intense and enjoyable.
