Yummy strawberries. The grocery store downstairs was selling these beautiful fruits, and I decided that we deserved a treat. (Katiki included, as she loves a bit of strawberry with her cream.) I do not have a picture of the finished product (as I TOTALLY forgot to take pictures of the food before we ate it all.) but I did take pictures of the fruits and wine before I started cooking. Will update post with new pictures when I make them again.
Ingredients:
- Strawberries
- Red Wine (good and robust)
- Vanilla Sugar
- Lavender Sugar
- Whipping Cream
Instructions:
- In a pot, pour a big big glug of red wine with lots of the Vanilla Sugar (according to how sweet you like your sweets. I don't like mine too sweet, but George loves his to the point that you'll get earaches, aka. 'The appropriate Greek sweetness'.). Simmer it gently until it becomes a sweet syrupy liquid.
- Wash and take the tops of the fresh strawberries. Slice them into manageable, eatable, spoonable pieces.
- Drown the strawberries in the semi-hot, warmish syrup. Cover and leave to cool thoroughly before cooling it even more in the fridge.
- Before serving, whip the cream with the Lavender Sugar (again, according to taste) until it peaks and creates a smooth 'strand' when you lift the whip away from the bowl.
- Spoon the strawberries into a bowl, and add the whipped cream on top.
- Serve with more wine. Wooop! (Or coffee if you don't drink.)
NOTE: Vanilla and Lavender Sugar Recipes will be added soon. With pretty pictures.
