Honey-Orange Strawberry Dessert
8 servings
- 1/2 cup frozen orange juice
concentrate, thawed
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 4 cups ripe, quartered fresh strawberries
- fresh mint leaves
Combine orange juice concentrate and honey in a small bowl. Pour over strawberries, tossing gently to coat.
Spoon mixture gently into 8 dessert bowls. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
* One pint of fresh strawberries equals 1 basket, or about
3 1/4 cups whole berries, or 2 1/4 cups sliced berries, or 1 2/3
cups pureed berries, or about 12 very large
stemmed berries, or about 36 smaller berries.
Storing and Preparing Strawberries:
-
Before using or storing, sort through the strawberries and separate the
soft ones from the firm, fully ripe berries. Discard any mushy or
spoiled berries.
-
Store them in a colander in the refrigerator. This allows the cold air
to circulate around them. Do not cover them.
-
Remove caps from strawberries only after washing. Prepare strawberries
for serving by rinsing with caps still attached under a gentle spray of
cool water; pat dry with a paper towel. (Don't remove the caps before
washing; the caps keep the water from breaking down the texture and
flavor inside the berries.). Wash the berries just before you plan to
use them. Use as soon as possible; strawberries ripen no further once
picked.
-
To keep strawberries from absorbing large quantities of water when
washing them, place in a salad spinner to remove excess water.
