How Do You Eat Strawberries?
Truly great strawberries -- yep, Jerzee Tomato, the kind we get from pick-your-own farms here in North Carolina every April and May -- don't need anything, of course. The best are eaten warm, in the field, while you're filling your cardboard basket. But my favorite splurge strawberry recipe is one I got back in 1995, when AOL was young and a woman named Elizabeth Waters used to run a live food chat group every Sunday night. She was from Louisville, so this is one of my Derby Day traditions: Mix 2 cups of sifted confectioners sugar, 2 tablespoons bourbon, 1 teaspoon vanilla and just enough cream to make a smooth dip. Set it out with a bowl of sifted confectioners sugar and a bowl of strawberries with the hulls on. Dip a strawberry into the bourbon cream, then into confectioners sugar. Make sure you don't let the kiddies eat it, and that you have a designated driver.

Since back from NC where I bought beautiful strawberries in may I made strawberry ice cream. Strawberry tiramisu. French toast with you guessed it strawberries.
How do I like them. Plain touch of lemon juice.

As a child, warm homemade shortcake biscuits topped with strawberries & pouring cream. Nowdays, I love 'em plain!

tossed with a little vanilla extract made by ourselves, using our own vanilla beans and a high quality alcohol and cold extracting for weeks...
Or a good balsamic reduction.
Naked is good too...

I like the balsamic approach with a twist I learned from the Naked Chef. Take some mascarpone and add the seeds from a vanilla bean and some sugar, mix and garnish the berries.
If you have leftovers, I like to take the mascarpone and the balsamicy berries, mix them all together and then freeze them into a sweet-tart frozen confection. Ridiculously deliciously good stuff.

Sliced thickly, sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar, splashed with a wee bit of Cognac or brandy . . . then gently stirred.
