Anyway, like I was sayin', strawberries are the fruit of the earth. You can barbecue em, boil em, broil em, bake em, saute em. Dey's uh, strawberry-kabobs, strawberry creole, strawberry gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple strawberry, lemon strawberry, coconut strawberry, pepper strawberry, strawberry soup, strawberry stew, strawberry salad, strawberry and potatoes, strawberry burger, strawberry sandwich. That- that's about it.

But seriously, macerated strawberries are a versatile ingredient. Start by removing the leaves & stems, washing & chopping a pound of strawberries.

Next add 1/4-1/2 cup of sugar, depending on how sweet the strawberries are & how sweet you prefer.

Add 2floz of Grand Marnier & mux well. Place in an air tight container & put on refrigerator. Stir periodically and allow to macerate overnight.

The next morning, all of the sugar should be dissolved. Stir & sample.

You can put that shite on everything. It has an extended shelf life but the texture will deteriorate after about a week.

As you can imagine, it's fantastic on vanilla ice cream with fresh sliced strawberries.

Serves Two

I call it The Maureen O'Hara.

Use two cereal bowls.

In each cereal bowl place 1 cup vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup mashed, sweetened strawberries, a nice mound of whipped cream, finish with rainbow titty sprinkles and a maraschino cherry or small strawberry on top.

Sliced up in a bowl with heavy cream is a nice treat I like

This is the one we use. I think it was pulled from a Weight Watchers or Sugar Busters book. We use 1 TBS of regular sugar instead of the 3 packets of sugar substitute. And fresh cream instead of low calorie Cool Whip.
