Fresh strawberries
| 
May 5 16:56 UTC 1996 |
Since the growing/picking season starts a bit earlier here in my neck
of the woods [Durham, NC]then it does back home in AA, MI, I've already
brought some delicious strawberries... I brought a 4 quart or so
container and have put most of them in the freezer but I did keep some
of them out...
Anyway, I'm looking for ideas/suggestions/recipes/whatever for using
strawberries. Please share! :-) Thanks!

I believe that strawberries are best enjoyed without sugar, or anything.
Maybe a little Sander's hot fudge to dip them in. ;)

I've got a great recipe for strawberry-rhubarb jam, if you'd like it.

I like them with plain yogurt on top, and maybe a chopped up banana. If the
strawberries aren't very sweet, adding some sugar helps.

I had the biggest strawberry I have ever laid eyes on the other day. It was
decadent, and my taste buds are glad for being alive.

I use strawberries to decorate cakes.

I have heard (and tried) that putting pepper in with sliced berries enhances
the flavor of the berries. Sounds crazy, but it's not too bad. ;)

Pepper as in ground black pepper?

yes sir. This was (and still being done) by chef Rocky, of The GandyDancer,
and his own restarant in Bloomfield Hills. I have tried this myself, and it
works.

Hmm, how much pepper is recommended?

Just a 1/4 teaspoon will do. Let the berries sit for a few hours before
eating them, and make sure that the pepper is well mixed into the juice before
serving.

And that would be with how many berries?

I remember at a restaurant in Chicag-for dessert having strawberries
dipped in sour cream and brown sugar. It may not have the healthiest
way to eat strawberries, but it sure was delicious! I haven't ever
seen them served this way anywhere else, though.

To improve that, you could substitute nonfat yogurt for the sour cream....

The sour cream and brown sugar (#15) is nearly the highpoint of strawberry
richness. We used to eat them this way at home, until we started counting
calories. But....yummy!

That would be a quart of sliced berries, add a little sugar about a cup,
or less to your liking, some water to make juice. sprinke the pepper over the
berries, stir well, and put this whole thing in the fridge for abour 3 hours.

I think a cup of sugar is a whole lot of sugar in this context,
especially considering that strawberries are relatively sweet
to begin with.

Ja, I agree. I'd be more inclined to dump yogurt over plain strawberries,
and then see if they needed any sugar at all. Good strawberries often don't.
