Strawberries



So much great fruit at the moment. Eating lots of strawberries and blueberries. I read somewhere that cracked black pepper and lemon juice brings out the sweetness. That's what I do now. Pepper seems odd doesn't it, but it works. The shots are before and after. freshly cut, and then again after they have been sitting in the lemon juice for a while.

A variation:

500g strawbs, hulled, then halved or quartered
1 tab caster sugar
1 tab balsamic vinegar
vanilla ice-cream to serve

Combine first 3 ingredients in bowl, mix well. Cover and leave to chill in fridge for hour. Serve w. icecream.

Now, I've had this recipe for about 5 yrs and STILL haven't tried it -- but it sounds interesting. If you beat me to it, Nat, tell me how it tastes!
