On top of poundcake or angel cake with nice whipped cream on top is one of my favorite "to impress" desserts. “cut the berries into quarters and sprinkle with sugar and some Chambord (I always have one of those little bottles on hand for) and let it macerate at room temp for about 15 minutes if you can wait that long”

When I was trying to remember where I bought the strawberries all I could think of was reaching through a group of people all clamoring to get a few pints from a big display of berries. I was so sad to see the selection they had on Thursday and I left the market forgetting to go back and get one of the pricey but tasty looking pints from the organic produce seller in the middle of the market. I am sure my strawberry luck will improve soon! Here is how I like to dress up a less than perfect strawberry: cut the berries into quarters and sprinkle with sugar and some Chambord (I always have one of those little bottles on hand for) and let it macerate at room temp for about 15 minutes if you can wait that long. It's great alone or on ice cream. Yum! mmmmm…I’m still dreaming of those strawberries and haven’t found and equal just yet.
