- Wash and hull the strawberries before using: This will remove any dirt or debris and make them easier to work with.
- Use a variety of strawberries: There are many different varieties of strawberries available, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Experiment with different types to find your favorites.
- Don't overcook the strawberries: Strawberries are delicate and can easily become mushy if they are cooked for too long. Cook them just until they are warmed through or softened to your liking.
- Add a little acidity: A squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of vinegar can help to balance the sweetness of the strawberries and add a bit of brightness to the dish.
