Number Of Ingredients 2

fresh strawberries
granulated sugar

Steps:

  • You will need a tupperware type container with a lid.
  • First, slice as many strawberries as you would like and place them in the container.
  • Then add as much sugar as you wish.
  • The more sugar makes more syrup.
  • I usually add enough to fully coat the strawberries.
  • Now put the lid on the container and tumble the strawberries for a minute so they can get saturated in the sugar.
  • Now refrigerate the container for a couple of hours, and you will have the tastiest, sweetest strawberries in their own syrup.
  • (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).

1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
10 large strawberries, sliced

Steps:

  • Bring water and granulated sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and stir in mint. Remove from heat and steep 10 minutes.

  • Serve strawberries and syrup over a dollop of yogurt cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right strawberries: Select ripe, red strawberries with no bruises or blemishes. For the best flavor, use organic or locally grown strawberries when possible.
  • Prepare your strawberries properly: Hull the strawberries and cut them into uniform pieces. If you're using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your recipes will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcook your strawberries: Strawberries are delicate and can easily become mushy if overcooked. Cook them just until they are softened and heated through.
  • Experiment with different flavors: Strawberries pair well with a variety of flavors, from sweet to tart to savory. Try adding them to salads, smoothies, pies, tarts, and even savory dishes like grilled chicken or fish.

Conclusion:

Strawberries are a delicious and versatile fruit that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
