*Reviewed for PAC Sept 09* 5 Stars- super easy and delish. Couldn't be any easier. I thought the cointreau would be quite strong but it actually melded with the juice from the strawberries and only gave a light orange taste. For kids I used orange juice instead of the liqueur. A simple and elegant dessert. Lovely on a warm night. Photo being posted also

A solid 5 stars...it would be 10 if I could! It is so incredibly easy and the combination of flavors is just wonderful. I'm sure the fact that Cointreau is my favorite liqueur has nothing to do with my enthusiasm. :-) Actually, the Cointreau isn't very noticeable...but it lends a sweet slightly orange accent note that balances the sometimes tart strawberries.

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
