Fresh Strawberries Preparation
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Wash the Strawberries
Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Gently pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 2
Remove the Stems
Using a paring knife or your hands, remove the green stems from each strawberry. Discard the stems.
- 3
Slice the Strawberries
Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on your preference for size. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- 4
Add Sugar and Lemon Juice
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the sliced strawberries, then drizzle the fresh lemon juice on top. Gently toss the strawberries to coat them evenly with the sugar and lemon juice.
- 5
Let the Strawberries Macerate
Allow the strawberries to sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This will help the sugar draw out the juices from the strawberries, creating a delicious syrup.
- 6
Serve and Garnish
Once the strawberries have macerated, give them a gentle stir. Place them in serving bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
