ingredients
directions
- You will need a tupperware type container with a lid.
- First, slice as many strawberries as you would like and place them in the container.
- Then add as much sugar as you wish.
- The more sugar makes more syrup.
- I usually add enough to fully coat the strawberries.
- Now put the lid on the container and tumble the strawberries for a minute so they can get saturated in the sugar.
- Now refrigerate the container for a couple of hours, and you will have the tastiest, sweetest strawberries in their own syrup.
- (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).

Jenn, this is usually the first thing I do with my strawberries when I bring them home from the store and have been doing it for years! I use them on everything from Belgian Waffles, pancakes, pound cake, ice cream, cheesecake, pudding, egg custard or even served alone in a fluted margarita glass with a dollop of real whipped cream. Simply too many serving suggestions to list!! Delicious!

I also have always used this recipe (when I was small, I once tried adding water instead of sugar to get the syrup -- did not work! ;-) We always used these strawberries to top Strawberry Shortcake. These are also called macerated strawberries. Now that I am older, I also serve these with crepes - My husband's favorite breakfast!

I'm a University of New Orleans graduate with a BA in Fine Arts. Some of my interests include fine art(of course), astronomy, local history, constructing things, and almost anything computer related. I was born and raised in New Orleans. The restaurants and cuisine here are unbelievable...yes, I would say this city does live up to its reputation with reference to dining. If you visit New Orleans, just watch out for those nasty potholes!!
