Sugared Strawberries

This is what I do most often with fresh strawberries. Sprinkling the sweet strawberries of late spring to early summer with just a little sugar, then letting them stand, draws out their delicious juice. They become almost an instant sauce, perfect for serving over yogurt and frozen yogurt, or to simply enjoy on their own. This is also delicious as a filling for Miniature Fresh Fruit Tarts (page 243).

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

1 pint flavorful fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 to 2 teaspoons natural granulated sugar, or to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the strawberries with the sugar in a serving container. Let the mixture stand for about 30 minutes before serving (if you are planning to let them stand any longer than that, cover and refrigerate). Serve in small dessert bowls or as suggested above.
