Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 250 g Fresh Strawberries
- 1-2 tbsp White Sugar to taste
Instructions
- Wash, trim and hull your strawberries, then slice them into small pieces or slices and add to a small bowl
- Sprinkle over a tablespoon of sugar(to taste) and stir to combine
- Cover with plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for 30 minutes to macerate and release all of the lovely juices
Notes
- If you don't have fresh berries, you can use defrosted frozen berries, but they will be softer
- After the strawberries have had enough time to macerate, you can blitz them with a stick blender and turn them into a delicious strawberry sauce (perfect if you're using frozen berries)
- It’s best to use the macerated berries that day, or they can turn a little gooey
