Strawberry Filling for Crepes
"I wanted to make strawberry crepes for my family, but couldn't find a recipe I liked. I experimented and came up with this: warm strawberries in sauce. Not too sweet, slightly tart. Enough for 4-5 crepes. I'd appreciate feedback and any possible improvements."

I thought this was perfect, LoydaP. I wouldn't change a thing. Your description is quite accurate; not too sweet, slightly tart. It thickened as it cooled. I used the sauce as a topping for plain yogurt. Wonderful.

I've been married since 2004. My husband and I didn't really know too much about cooking. The first year we were married we ordered out a lot and spent a lot of money! I decided that I would learn how to cook. I've been having so much fun learning new recipes and experimenting with different flavors. The chefs at recipezaar are so great, everyone has really helped me out! So far, my husband and family have loved what I've learned and made. I'm really loving this!
