Preparation

1

Prepare the Poaching Liquid

In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.

2

Poach the Strawberries

Add the cleaned strawberries to the poaching liquid. Allow them to steep for about 10-15 minutes until they are tender but still hold their shape.

3

Serve

Remove the strawberries from the liquid and place them in a serving dish. Drizzle with some of the poaching liquid, and top with blackcurrants, toasted walnuts, lemon zest, and fresh mint leaves.
