Recipe: Strawberries With Whipped Cream
By Justin Spring
Strawberries With Whipped Cream
An hour before they are needed, wash, hull, and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters. Toss a quart of the sliced strawberries with a half a cup of sugar (or to taste), along with an ounce of kirsch (optional). At serving time, whip one cup of chilled heavy cream in a chilled bowl, adding two tablespoons of sugar and a half-teaspoon of vanilla. Serve the berries and pass the whipped cream separately, with an accompaniment of shortbread or butter cookies.
