Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy strawberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh strawberries, frozen strawberries will work just as well.
- Don't overcook the strawberries. They should be cooked until they are softened, but not mushy.
- Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds from the strawberries. This will give you a smooth, creamy flummery.
- Chill the flummery for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the flummery to thicken.
- Serve the flummery with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dollop of ice cream.
